ESG and Sustainable Investing

Welcome to the course on ESG and Sustainable Investing. ESG has become a trending buzzword in the financial world. Short for Environmental, Social and Governance, ESG criteria are increasingly being used as a way to measure the broader impact of a business on the world. In recent years, ESG investments have been on the rise. However, due to a lack of standardization, it can be tricky to decipher the ESG ratings of a company. Between different rating agencies, variable weightage is given to different aspects of a business which could make one company highly ESG compliant according to one agency and award a low rating to the same company. This course takes a look at the ways in which an investor can decode the ESG ratings of a company and make an informed decision while investing.
