🌍 What Is Sustainable Investing? Sustainable investing means putting your money into companies, projects, or funds that promote positive change—such as renewable energy, ethical business practices, and community development—while still delivering returns. It’s about aligning your investments with your values.

📈 Why Is It Growing? Global awareness: More people care about climate change, fair labor, and ethical governance. Better returns: Research shows many sustainable companies perform well financially because they think long-term. Young investors: Millennials and Gen Z are driving demand for impact-driven investments.
