• Meaning of selecting investment targets in consideration of corporate sustainability and social impact in addition to financial performance such as financial statements and cash flows
• As the recent climate crisis has become a reality and investment companies such as BlackRock judge ESG as a major investment decision criterion, it has emerged as a global economic topic
