What is ESG investing?

ESG investing lets you get exposure to companies that have been scored based on their commitment to environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices.

Here are some examples of the different ESG factors:

  • Environmental: does the company care about climate change and is it taking steps to reduce its carbon footprint? How much waste and pollution does it produce? Is it using water and energy efficiently?
  • Social: what are employee working conditions like? Are there equal opportunities for all employees? Does the company promote human rights and engage in philanthrophy?
  • Governance: how is the company run? Do they pay their employees fairly? Is the company's board diverse, and how is it structured?

ESG investing with Moneybox

Ready to invest in a way that’s more aligned with your values? With Moneybox, our Starting Options have Global Shares ESG variants, or you can build your own ESG portfolio from our range of funds.

Here’s how our Balanced Global Shares ESG Starting Option performed over a 10-year period.

Past performance is not a reliable guide to future performance. All investing should be long term and you may get back less than you invest. Annual returns are net of fees and based on the scenario of £1,000 invested in 2014 followed by monthly deposits of £50. Where available, returns data for the selected funds have been used. Where the fund has a shortened performance history, we have used the appropriate index to simulate performance. This is the case for the Global Shares ESG fund prior to December 2018 and the Global Property Shares ESG fund prior to October 2014. Source: Morningstar, MSCI.
