A higher proportion of shareholders prefer their money to go into lucrative businesses or funds that could also reflect their social values. Along with typical financial indicators, ESG examines the firm's environmental, socioeconomic and governing activities. Social minded investing entails deliberately deleting or selecting the businesses that adhere to certain ethical standards.The purpose of impact investing is to generate a favorable yield while simultaneously making a beneficial impact with someone's capital, which should ideally reflect one's ideals. We've come a long way from simply using negative screen techniques to avoid the businesses like alcohol, tobacco and weapons. Today, smart investors are more likely to drive results through such an active values-driven strategy.
Both types of investors will participate in the company’s valuation, but ESG/ impact investors will be of higher proportion as compared to the ESG aware investors.
