Sustainable investments, ESG, determinants, technological advancementAbstract
A key component of contemporary finance, sustainable investing behavior is influenced by variables that go beyond conventional financial indicators. The chapter looks at the various factors that affect how people and organizations decide which investments to make that are sustainable. Environmental, social, and governance, or ESG, factors are becoming more and more important motivators as people become more conscious of how investments affect larger social and environmental dynamics. The interplay between individual ideas and financial actions is exemplified by psychological elements including risk perception and ethical principles. The landscape of sustainable investments is also shaped by business disclosure policies, regulatory policies, and institutional frameworks. Investors now have the means to evaluate sustainability factors and incorporate them into their decision-making procedures because of technological advancements and more data accessibility.
