THE Covid-19 pandemic may have spurred a greater shift towards more sustainable investing, but investors themselves are also beginning to realise that such investments are yielding better returns than traditional ones.
A global study conducted by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), covering 450 institutional investors across the globe, found that almost three-quarters (74 per cent) of these investors said that their company's investments that integrate ESG (environment, social and corporate governance) factors performed better financially than equivalent traditional investments in the three years prior to 2020.
