Read our top articles from 2023 on why investors and companies should continue to manage and measure their social and environmental impacts.
StartingUpGood has been following the evolution of ESG investing for almost a decade — and we are more convinced than ever that it’s a financially strong portfolio strategy as well as a good thing for the world.
For the past year, we've been publishing articles that highlight the benefits of ESG investing to counter the deluge of vocal — though mostly uninformed and unfounded — ESG criticism. We have used our social media resources to amplify the many thoughtful, positive articles about ESG investing that we find. And we aren’t the only ones. ESG defenders are now better organized with their response to anti-ESG rhetoric and mis-information targeting sustainable investment practices.
As predicted, 2023 was a pivotal year for ESG investing, and 2024 promises to be equally important to ESG's evolution. FOLLOW our LinkedIn page for our continuing coverage of evidence-based information to stay informed.

In Conclusion
StartingUpGood has endorsed ESG investing as a profitable strategy benefiting both portfolios and society. Of late, ESG investing is being characterized as ‘political’ by some, but we don’t see it that way. Paying attention to the environment, to justice, and to ethics is core to good business and a better world for all. We may critique certain elements of ESG investing in an effort to make it more effective, but we are convinced that incorporating ESG principles is fundamentally the only responsible way to invest.
Our research, writing, and advocacy will continue to reflect this belief.
StartingUpGood supports fresh entrepreneurial approaches to social impact. FOLLOW US on social media:
