Abstract: Abstract Investors assess the risks and opportunities related to ESGEnvironmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects: the environment, social responsibility and governance. This is commonly referred to as the integrationIntegration of sustainability into investment decisions. The goal is to achieve better returns with a more controlled risk (improving the risk-to-return ratioRisk-to-return ratio) and/or manage the investor’s reputation. In practice, this means that the return potential may otherwise be the same for different companies, but some companies are subject to higher ESGEnvironmental, social and governance (ESG) risks. In other words, an investor benefits if they can identify an investment that offers similar returns with a lower risk.
