Environment, Social and Governance (ESG)-oriented investing creates positive value for companies and investing is skyrocketing - Global sustainable investment now tops $30 trillion—up 68 percent since 2014 and tenfold since 2004 - McKinsey

"The E in ESG, environmental, includes the energy your company takes in and the waste it discharges, the resources it needs, and the consequences for living beings as a result. Not least, E encompasses carbon emissions and climate change. Every company uses energy and resources; every company affects, and is affected by, the environment.
S, social criteria, addresses the relationships your company has and the reputation it fosters with people and institutions in the communities where you do business. S includes labor relations and diversity and inclusion. Every company operates within a broader, diverse society.
G, governance, is the internal system of practices, controls, and procedures your company adopts in order to govern itself, make effective decisions, comply with the law, and meet the needs of external stakeholders. Every company, which is itself a legal creation, requires governance."  McKinsey
