Sustainable Investments

Definition ∞ Sustainable investments are financial allocations made into companies or projects that aim to generate both financial returns and positive environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impacts. These investments consider long-term societal well-being alongside traditional profit motives. They align capital with values that promote ecological balance and social equity.
Context ∞ The concept of sustainable investments is gaining traction within the digital asset sector, with a growing focus on environmentally friendly blockchains and ethical crypto projects. News reports often highlight initiatives promoting “green” cryptocurrencies or decentralized applications designed to support social causes. This trend reflects an increasing awareness of ESG factors within the broader financial and technological landscape.
