SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE & FOOD SECURITY
Have become increasingly important in the context of ESG investing. With the global population growing, there is a heightened focus on investing in sustainable agricultural practices that promote soil health, water conservation, and the use of renewable energy. Investments in companies that innovate in food technology, such as plant-based proteins and organic farming, are also on the rise. These investments not only address environmental concerns but also contribute to global food security, ensuring that resources are used efficiently and equitably.

FAITH-BASED INVESTING
is an approach that aligns financial goals with religious values, such as Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) for Christians. This type of investing screens out companies involved in activities considered immoral, like gambling, pornography, and abortion, while promoting businesses that support family values, social justice, and environmental stewardship. It’s a way for investors to ensure that their portfolios reflect their beliefs and contribute to the greater good.

SATTVIC INVESTMENTS
Draw from Hindu principles, emphasizing purity, harmony, and non-violence (Ahimsa). This investment approach avoids companies involved in harm to living beings, such as those in the meat industry or animal testing. Instead, it focuses on sustainable practices, organic products, and businesses that contribute to the well-being of society, such as those involved in healthcare, education, and environmental conservation. Sattvic investments are about aligning financial decisions with spiritual and ethical values, ensuring that investments promote positive energy and societal harmony.

While ESG investing can provide a way to align your investments with your personal values, it’s also important to recognize that pursuing maximum returns without considering ESG factors is a legitimate approach for some investors. For those whose primary goal is financial gain, focusing on profit-driven strategies may be the preferred choice, and that’s perfectly valid. Not every investment decision needs to be filtered through an ESG lens, and it’s okay to prioritize financial returns over other considerations if that aligns with your goals. After all, investing is ultimately about making choices that best suit your personal objectives and circumstances.
