Ethical Investing

Summary

Ethical investing refers to the practice of making investment decisions based on ethical guidelines, often seeking to generate both financial returns and positive social or environmental impacts.

Detailed Description

Ethical investing is an investment strategy that incorporates personal values and societal concerns into investment decisions. Investors select assets that align with their ethical beliefs, avoiding sectors traditionally seen as harmful—such as tobacco, arms, or fossil fuels—while favoring companies that promote sustainability, social justice, and ethical governance. This approach has gained traction with growing awareness of social responsibility and environmental sustainability among individuals and institutions alike.
