In the past, investing was often associated solely with profit; the higher the return, the more attractive it was. However, more and more investors are now considering the long-term impact of their investments. This is where the concept of green investment emerged: an investment approach that prioritizes not only profit but also environmental and social sustainability.
Green investments encompass a wide range of instruments, from shares in renewable energy companies and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) mutual funds to green bonds, whose proceeds are used for environmentally friendly projects. In Indonesia, this trend is also growing. The government, for example, has issued Green Sukuk, government securities whose proceeds are used to fund sustainable projects such as solar power plants or waste management.
In addition to contributing to the environment, green investing also offers long-term financial benefits. Sustainability-oriented companies typically have better risk management, higher energy efficiency, and a positive public reputation. With increasing public awareness and supportive regulations, the value of "green" companies is predicted to continue to rise in the future.
For individual investors, starting green investing doesn't have to be a large-scale endeavor. Many digital platforms now provide access to ESG mutual funds, renewable energy investments, or even crowdfunding for environmental projects with affordable capital. This small step can be the beginning of a portfolio that is not only profitable but also meaningful for the planet.
In an era when climate change is a global challenge, green investing is a smart strategy. By investing in sectors that support sustainability, we not only help protect the planet but also build a more resilient and valuable financial future.
