There’s no question: ESG is becoming increasingly pivotal in the decision-making process for investors. But how much of a factor is it?

The paper "Mapping the ESG maze" explores how investors are navigating the dynamic, and sometimes complex realm of ESG investments. It delves into the factors which influence decision-making and examines the cognitive biases which may unknowingly impact investors choices.
