The experts at BrokerChooser commented on why ESG is important,“ESG investing is a powerful force for change, as it combines a very human need to create a better world, both environmentally and socially, with the hard reality of economics. As such, ESG provides economically-driven change that is sustainable in the long run as it doesn’t rely on charitable donations and goodwill alone.

Not only does this model incentivise investors to support green companies and industries, but it equally empowers activists to take action and claim a financial stake in the green revolution. As this system of investing rewards ethical companies and green technology, it could become the driving force behind the global effort to save the planet.

At the end of the day, ESG investment is a force for good that unites investors and activists to drive economically sustainable change. By using trusted brokers with the best research tools, you’ll be able to navigate this exciting investment space and make a difference by considering aspects other than your strict bottom line.”
