What is ESG investing & how to get started | Sustainability

In this whiteboard animation, I explain what is ESG investing, how ESG ratings work (using MSCI ESG rating), which sustainable investment products you can choose to make money with your own portfolio, how I created mine online with only, as well as some best practices about managing and balancing your portfolio to manage the risks (like the difference between stocks and bonds).

Super valuable - it was on my mind this week and you reminded me to take the course and probably sign up for some coaching too. Thanks!

[@learnsustainability]

Awesome! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did 😃

[@nathanaelkoehler2484]

Amazing! Thank you for taking the time and energy to educate us who are looking to transition to sustainable investments. You have an advocate and subscriber in me from here on out. - Nate

[@learnsustainability]

Cheers! I'm glad it was helpful! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.

[@merciadios5113]

Super!!!

[@AnkurShah]

Great video, Alex! ESG investing is a solid growing trend as you demonstrate - especially due to more young investors wanting to align investments with their values. Money can grow on trees if done right 😉

[@learnsustainability]

True! Thanks for the reminder and the comment!

[@ethicalconsumerpodcast6712]

This is something we're looking forward to do. Now this is what you call valuable content!

[@learnsustainability]

Thanks! Glad it's helpful!

[@lightraysolutions]

Thanks for sharing! :)

[@learnsustainability]

Welcome! 👍

[@alexandremagnier3107]

Encore une super vidéo ! Après le lien entre développement personnel et écologie, c'est au tour l'investissement. Merci à toi pour ces insights Alex 😉

[@learnsustainability]

Merci d'avoir pris le temps de commenter !

[@learnsustainability]

Do you already have a portfolio? 📈 Do you own ESG stocks and bonds? If not, are you interested in switching to more sustainable products? 🍃 I learned a lot about sustainable investing putting this video together, please like 👍 and comment ✏️ if you learned something as well...

[@kreatvya]

On peut pas avoir la version française ?

[@learnsustainability]

je poste toujours la version anglaise en premier. Dans ce cas, je ne suis pas encore sûr de créer une version française car les ETFs seraient différents en France et il faut que je vérifie que Questrade et Passiv sont disponibles également.

[@No_name860]

Just came here to say ESG, DEI is scam people. Literally invest in something that does NOT support these, of you actually want a return. Your welcome.

[@learnsustainability]

Thank you for your comment. And by DEI you meant Diversity Equity and Inclusion.
