Profit with principle: Why ethical investing is a win-win for all
Do you want your wealth to contribute to the prosperity of others? Thanks to ESG investing, your success can now…
Indeed, ActOn Wealth believes that wealth creation and social/environmental concerns should not be mutually exclusive. We call it ethical wealth creation. It is old-school thinking to suggest ethical investments equate to lower profits or higher fees. Like you, we believe there is a way to do good for your wealth and the world. Whilst ethical investment can open a Pandora’s Box of complexities, most of us can agree on and share some fundamental investment values that avoid:
Causing illness, disease or death
Destroying or damaging the environment
Disrespecting or harming people
This type of investing allows investors to align their financial interests with their values, support positive social and environmental initiatives, and manage risks by considering environmental, social, and governance factors. It promotes long-term sustainability, transparency, and accountability among companies. It has the potential for competitive financial returns and is a growing market in Australia given individuals can make a positive impact while pursuing their financial goals.
