Environmental, social, and government (ESG) investment risks are important to investment decision making according to 79 percent of the participants in a global survey conducted in 2021. Meanwhile, 75 percent of investors noted they believed companies should address ESG-related issues even if doing so reduced short-term profit. Almost half of the investors surveyed noted they would divest (sell their holdings) from a company that they felt was not taking sufficient ESG-related action.
