Investing the money we’ve earned through diligent work, we strive for value preservation and optimal returns while minimizing risk. However, there’s a form of investment that goes beyond these goals, serving additional important purposes: sustainable and ESG investing. Unlike traditional investments, these approaches consider environmental (Environmental), social (Social), and corporate governance (Governance) factors, actively promoting significant environmental and social objectives.

• The environmental (Environmental) aspect can focus on mitigating or adapting to climate change, preventing and reducing pollution, or protecting and restoring biodiversity and ecosystems.
• The social (Social) aspect prioritizes the protection of human rights, the fight against discrimination, the promotion of social inclusion, and corporate social responsibility.
• All of this is difficult without proper corporate governance (Governance), as the ESG approach presupposes that only well-functioning and appropriately managed companies can achieve sustainable long-term revenue.

The integration of sustainability aspects is becoming increasingly important not only for the financial sector but for the entire economy. The demand for sustainable investment opportunities is constantly growing, while laws and international guidelines are increasingly focusing on sustainability. It is therefore becoming increasingly essential for companies and investors to consider ESG factors in their decisions, as these have a significant impact not only on companies but also on the global economy and society.
Gránit Asset Management strives to create the widest possible product range that also takes sustainability aspects into account for investors.
