Özet
Although they have different meanings, the terms sustainable investing, socially responsible investing, environmental, social and governance investing and impact investing are often used interchangeably in the literature. This study aims to expand knowledge about these concepts by reviewing previous literature. It defines the differences and areas of convergence between these different investment approaches while drawing clearer boundaries between them. One could say that sustainable investing is an umbrella term that covers all these forms of investment. Environmental, social and governance investing (ESG) refers to the process of measuring a company's environmental, social and governance activities in the context of traditional financial indicators. Financial returns are the main objective of ESG investing. On the other hand, socially responsible investing (SRI) involves the selection or exclusion of investments based on certain moral standards. Impact investing is about giving investors the opportunity to invest in a company or organization that adds social value and thus creates an impact.
