Companies that do not adopt sustainable business strategies can expect less investment as shareholders grow more focused on topics like climate change, BlackRock Inc CEO Laurence Fink said.... https://www.thewealthadvisor.com/ar...Y1dRWLl5_HdEMrVN0wk8iD2fTP2puL-3SI-u-hg_y4ZYw
Bitcoin and esg?
The sheer amount of energy needed to mine Bitcoin and the prospect that governments will create more obstacles for the largest cryptocurrency point to the token losing “most of its value over time,” BCA Research Inc. said.
The expense and slowness of Bitcoin transactions make it “unsuitable as a medium of exchange,” BCA Research Chief Global Strategist Peter Berezin wrote in the report released Friday.
In addition, environmental, social and governance-focused funds are likely to shun companies associated with Bitcoin due to the large energy consumption by miners on computer networks.
Bitcoin is still up more than five times over the past year, a divisive rally pitting believers in a new asset class against naysayers who see a speculative bubble. Among notable recent developments are Tesla’s US$1.5 billion purchase of the token. At the same time, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen are among those signaling caution.

Constraints faced by esg investing now....
First and foremost, researching ESG compliant companies can get complicated, as a transparent, consistent and standardised means of comparison is still not there yet.
You will also have to dig deep and look beyond annual reports and sustainability reports to suss out whether a company is really a company that takes ESG.
Also, there is not a strong correlation between companies with strong ESG performance and the success of the companies.
If the tech stocks (into esg) do badly like during the recent September US stock market sell-off and the sustainable Vanguard ESG U.S. Stock ETF crashed; it does not mean that ESG as an investing strategy is has failed.
Neither does it mean that good ESG performance is good for growth.
Ultimately, you will need to manage your expectations when engaging in ESG Investing.
You have to be prepared to deal with lower returns from your investments in exchange for positive overall outcomes in society and the world
Although investing in ESG assets can be risky, it still has a big positive impact on society.
