The environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors of a company are becoming increasingly important to investors. Many companies are now touting their ESG credentials as a way to attract investment. However, some companies may be engaging in "greenwashing," falsely promoting their ESG practices. Investors need to be careful to differentiate between companies that are truly committed to sustainable practices and those that are only paying lip service to them. By doing their due diligence, investors can ensure that their money is going into businesses with a sustainable future.
