Abstract | Sustainable finance and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing have emerged as pivotal paradigms in global capital markets, reshaping traditional investment strategies in response to growing environmental concerns, social awareness, and governance accountability. This paper explores the rapid evolution of ESG investing, its integration into mainstream financial practices, and the factors driving its increasing prominence. The study examines the current landscape of sustainable finance, highlighting key trends such as climate-focused investments, corporate ESG disclosures, and green bond issuance. It also addresses pressing challenges including ESG data inconsistencies, greenwashing, regulatory fragmentation, and investor skepticism. It also explores regional and sectoral variations in ESG adoption, identifying drivers and barriers in different markets. Case studies of leading ESG investors and initiatives illustrate best practices and innovative approaches to aligning financial returns with sustainable outcomes. The paper concludes by outlining strategic recommendations for investors, regulators, and corporate leaders to enhance ESG integration, promote transparency, and foster long-term value creation. It argues that while ESG investing is not a panacea, it represents a transformative force capable of aligning finance with broader societal goals in the face of global challenges such as climate change and social inequality. |
