Abstract: Recent studies indicate that ESG investing can positively influence overall economic health, leading to more substantial and sustainable returns for investors. The development of various data-driven scoring methods has improved the objectivity and efficiency of evaluating companies based on ESG principles, reducing investment risks and enhancing decision-making processes. Despite these advancements, challenges persist, including ongoing debates about the efficacy of mandatory ESG reporting, varied investor perceptions, and the quality of information disclosure. Regional analyses, such as evidence from China, suggest promising outcomes for ESG-focused portfolios, while the growing involvement of non-professional investors underscores the increasing importance of transparent and comprehensive ESG disclosures in shaping future investment landscapes.
