Responsible Investing
Responsible investing is an umbrella term for a variety of different approaches that includes sustainable investing, ethical investing and impact investing, to name a few. They each have their subtle differences, but the primary objective is to evaluate the risks and opportunities associated with the ESG (environmental, social and governance) factors facing investments.
Jersey has been active in this vital area for some time. Sustainable finance, and particularly impact investing, is experiencing strong growth globally.
