<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Navigate the ESG investment landscape; understand investment principles for a sustainable portfolio; identify the instruments enabling ESG" -- Cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Your guide to investing for a more sustainable world </b></p> <p>Investing in one's own future has always been a good financial move. But what if you want to ensure that the companies you have a financial interest in are also helping to improve the present and future of all of us--and of the planet? More than ever before, sustainable investors want to be confident that a company's Environmental (net zero emissions target), Social (response to the Covid-19 pandemic), and Governance (no repeats of Enron and WorldCom) policies and actions are positively impacting the global outlook--and to identify ways that their dollar can incentivize business leaders to do even better. The worldwide rise of an Environmental, Socially Responsible, and Governance (ESG) approach to investing shows you're not alone, and the $30+ trillion--and growing--committed in this way says it's already become a transformative global movement. ESG provides a framework for evaluating companies that, unlike unrelated investment strategies, informs and guides sustainable investment. </p> <p>Even if you're a novice investor, <i>ESG For Dummies</i> will allow you to hit this new investing landscape running, providing you with measurable ways to factor ESG into company performance, see how these are reflected in your investment return, and show how you can monitor companies to ensure your money is being put to ethical use.
