Do the values of a company factor into your investment decisions? In the latest episode of “Your Telecom Retirement,” I dive deep into the world of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investing, a form of investing that considers a company’s impact on the environment, its social responsibility, and its governance practices. We start by untangling the political implications of ESG investing and emphasize its importance beyond political leanings. We then explore the mechanics of ESG investing, discussing how companies are evaluated based on environmental, social, and governance factors.
