What is Sustainable Investing?
Sustainable investing, often synonymous with socially responsible investing (SRI) or ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investing, involves making investments in companies or funds that aim to generate social or environmental benefits alongside financial returns.
The Rise of ESG
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria have become key factors in investment decisions. Investors are increasingly assessing companies on their environmental impact, social responsibility, and governance practices.
Why Choose Sustainable Investing?
Aligning Values with Investments
Sustainable investing allows you to support companies that align with your ethical and moral values, whether it’s environmental conservation, social justice, or corporate ethics.
Long-Term Financial Performance
Many sustainable investments have shown strong financial performance. Good ESG practices can be indicators of prudent management and long-term sustainability.
How to Get Started with Sustainable Investing
Research and Education
Start with research. Understand what sustainable investing means and the various strategies involved. We recommend resources like ESG-focused financial reports and sustainable investment funds for initial learning.
Identify Your Investment Goals
Your investment goals should guide your sustainable investing strategy. Are you more focused on environmental impact, social change, or ethical governance?
Diversifying Your Sustainable Portfolio
Balanced Portfolio
Diversification is key in any investment strategy. Including a mix of sustainable bonds, funds and shares can help manage risk while contributing to causes you care about.
The share - TRIG
The Renewables Infrastructure Group Limited (TRIG) is an investment company that focuses on a diversified portfolio of renewable energy assets, primarily in the UK and Europe. The company's investments typically encompass a range of renewable energy sources, such as wind farms, solar parks, and battery storage projects. The objective of TRIG is to provide sustainable, long-term returns to its investors through investments in these assets, while also contributing to the global effort to combat climate change by reducing dependency on fossil fuels.
Investors interested in TRIG often consider it as part of a strategy to diversify their portfolio with exposure to the renewable energy sector, a field that is increasingly significant in the context of global energy transition and climate change. However, as with all investments, it's important to conduct thorough research and consider the unique risks and opportunities that an investment in renewable energy infrastructure may present.
Impact Investing
Consider impact investing – investments made with the intention to generate a measurable, beneficial social or environmental impact alongside a financial return.
