What is ethical investing?
Rounding it up
Ethical investing has a few different sub-categories, but at its core, this strategy is a way of investing that aligns with personal ethics.
There are 5 main types of ethical investing: ESG (environment, social, and governance), socially responsible, sustainable, impact, and moral.
At the end of the day, you should always invest in companies whose mission and values you support because your investment increases their impact.
