ESG investment opinion in Germany, Italy, Spain in 2023
German investors were overall more cautious towards ESG investing than those from Spain or Italy, according to a survey held in 2023. Survey respondents from Germany largely disagreed more on most of the proposed statements, especially when it came to potential portfolio returns or ESG being a primary factor in choosing a financial service provider. The source does not explain why these differences exist, although it does point towards a general worldwide lack of information on what ESG does and how it could potentially reach portfolio returns.
