Abstract: On a global scale, climate change, social inequality, and corporate governance challenges are becoming increasingly prominent, posing significant threats to sustainable economic and social development. In recent years, the frequent occurrence of extreme weather events, depletion of natural resources, and public health crises have highlighted the limitations of traditional investment models that focus solely on financial returns. As the concept of sustainable development gains wider recognition, more investors are incorporating environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) factors into their decision-making to manage non-systemic risks and pursue long-term value creation. Amid persistent uncertainties in global economic recovery, ESG investment, which integrates financial performance with social responsibility, is gradually emerging as a mainstream approach in capital markets. By the second quarter of 2025, the number of sustainable investment funds in Asia (excluding Japan) reached a record high, reflecting the rapid growth and widespread adoption of ESG investment worldwide.
