An Integrated Approach to ESG

At Hawthorne, we believe that integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles is vital for creating robust, sustainable companies and assets that can provide long-term value for our investors.

At Hawthorne, we understand the value of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investing and recognize the potential of Asia in this space over the next decade. According to industry experts, Asia is expected to drive growth in the ESG sector over the next five years, and global ESG assets under management (AUM) are projected to triple by 2025 to $6.5 trillion USD.

The increasing popularity of ESG investing can be attributed to several reasons. Firstly, ethical considerations are becoming more important to investors who want to invest in companies that align with their values and principles. Secondly, companies that prioritize ESG factors tend to be better positioned for long-term success. They are more likely to anticipate and mitigate risks, capitalize on opportunities, and generate sustainable profits. Additionally, governments and regulatory bodies are increasingly focusing on sustainability and social responsibility, and companies that prioritize ESG factors are better positioned to comply with new regulations and policies, which can protect them from potential legal and financial risks. Finally, studies have shown that companies with strong ESG performance tend to have better financial performance over the long term. They are better positioned to manage risks, attract and retain talent, and capitalize on opportunities in the growing sustainable market.

Overall, investing in ESG provides investors with an opportunity to support sustainable and responsible companies while also generating long-term financial returns. At Hawthorne, we believe that ESG investing is not only a smart investment strategy, but also an ethical and responsible choice. We are committed to staying at the forefront of this growing sector and providing our clients with access to the latest ESG investment opportunities.
