US SIF launches esgtruths.com, highlights 10 reasons why sustainable investing is needed and here to stay

    WASHINGTON, DC, August 24, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ -- US SIF: The Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment today launched a web page at https://esgtruths.com/ to outline ten reasons why sustainable investing is needed and here to stay.

Sustainable investing has become mainstream and investors seek to make prudent choices that also reflect their environmental and social priorities. However, politically motivated groups including some politicians across the country have attacked ESG and sustainable investing.

"In recent months, the field of sustainable investing has been the focus of politically motivated and simplistic attacks on 'ESG,'" said Bryan McGannon, US SIF Director of Policy and Programs. "For individual investors and investment institutions, considering ESG factors is about investment results, not politics."

From addressing climate change to reducing investment risk, the page points to the importance of these investment choices for those who want to invest in a more sustainable future while generating long-term competitive returns.
