The impact of social responsibility on investment cannot be ignored either.
It is not uncommon for companies to lack social responsibility, such as product counterfeiting, price gouging, and environmental pollution. However, it is difficult for such enterprises with lack of social responsibility to achieve sustainable and high-quality development, and it will also bring huge investment risks.
Some people believe that fulfilling social responsibilities and practicing ESG will increase costs, which is contrary to the business goal of maximizing corporate profits.
However, numerous studies have shown that companies that value ESG tend to have more transparent financial statements, more stable operations, and better long-term financial performance.
In 2021, UBS Asset Management published the results of the global study "Resetting the Agenda - How ESG is Shaping the Future" conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), one of which revealed:
Nearly three-quarters of respondents believe that their ESG-incorporated investments outperform their traditional counterparts in financial performance compared to the three years prior to 2020;
When considering ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) specific factors, we see some minor geographic differences: Asia Pacific investors are more social (53%) focused than other regions, while North American investors are more environmentally focused ( 60%) and governance (61%) factors.
For a long time, UBS Asset Management has been practicing the concept of ESG sustainable investment. Today, UBS Asset Management fully integrates environmental, social responsibility and corporate governance into every traditional investment area as part of a holistic investment approach.
ESG investment covers a wider range of influencing factors beyond traditional financial analysis. It is not only an investment model that achieves a win-win situation for the economy, society and environment, but will also become an important driving force for the high-quality and sustainable development of enterprises.
