Sustainable investing is a way of not only potentially guarding against investor risk (as far as possible), but also can be a way of aligning portfolios with investor objectives and ethical motivations. Many investors care about ESG issues and want to invest in a way that reflects their views.

Performing well in these areas can benefit society, but it can also help reduce the risks a company passes on to its equity and bond investors.

Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) / Environmental Social Governance (ESG) investing has certain risks based on the fact that the criteria excludes securities of certain issuers for non-financial reasons and, therefore, investors may forgo some market opportunities and the universe of investments available will be smaller.
