Investing in the future has become a priority for many investors. Slowly but surely, investors have become more conscious of environmental, social and governance principles within the investment world, and companies are increasingly expected to comply with ESG standards.

Ausbil Investment Management's head of ESG research, Mans Carlsson goes as far as suggesting that ESG-conscious companies are the highest-quality companies of the future.

"It's very important to think of ESG in a momentum way... because by improving on ESG, these companies should ultimately have a premium valuation over time."

After recently taking home the Zenith Investment Partners award for responsible investing, Carlsson details why sustainable investing is becoming so much more important.

In this short video, Carlsson outlines Ausbil's criteria for sustainable investing, including both the positive and negative screening processes, and discusses ESG’s growing prominence in Australia.
