Are Sustainable Investment Options Coming to Your 401(k)?
You recycle, ride a bike whenever possible, avoid products with excessive packaging, and never let the faucet run while brushing your teeth. Given the opportunity, you'd love to align your eco-conscious approach with your financial goals by supporting companies that prioritize sustainability. But the last time you looked, your 401(k) fund options ranged from target-date funds to index funds -- without a hint of sustainability to be found.
The good news is that may be changing. Sustainable investing is on the rise, and only partly because more people care about corporations' environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices. The other factor is an increasing recognition that companies with solid ESG track records can also produce competitive financial results.
