Ethical investments refer to the practice of choosing financial assets based on moral principles and social responsibility. Investors seek to support companies and projects that align with their values, such as those promoting environmental sustainability, social justice, or ethical labor practices. This approach often involves avoiding industries like tobacco, weapons, or fossil fuels. Many investors use Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria to evaluate potential investments. These criteria help assess a company's impact on society and the environment, guiding investors toward options that contribute positively to the world while still aiming for financial returns.
