Today, more investors are profoundly aware that the investment choices we make can have a significant impact on the world around us.
Sustainable investing is no longer a good-to-have, in fact, it is becoming a must-have for companies and investors alike. By directing capital towards companies and investments that pay attention to environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, investors can help to build a more resilient and sustainable future for everyone.
At Franklin Templeton, we believe sustainable investing and a focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) analysis can help us deliver better investment outcomes for you.
What’s good for the world, is good for us, and good for our clients.
From climate change, health and safety conditions of workers, to bribery and corruption, consumers are becoming more cognizant of sustainability practices of businesses and demanding higher standards.
Sustainable investing is an investment philosophy where we consider Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors to provide long-term, sustainable value to our investors.
Sustainable investing is not a one-size-fits-all investment approach. There are many ways investors can incorporate sustainability objectives in their overall investment strategy.
Sustainability has become a key consideration in how policy authorities allocate resources on a macro scale. It is no longer just a fashionable buzzword – it has become a global policy imperative.
We have a long track-record of considering ESG factors alongside traditional financial measurements to help identify those investments that have the potential to deliver sustainable returns. Read more about our commitment to sustainable investing here.
