The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically changed the corporate landscape. Let’s take a closer look at how ESG investments have outperformed during the COVID-19 pandemic and what the future holds.

There’s evidence that these best practices have paid off:
In addition to an easier transition to the “new normal”, ESG-focused companies have faced less criticism from consumers—particularly after they accepted public funds. The public image of ESG-focused companies tends to be better than competitors, which could lead to a more resilient business long-term.
Shake Shack Inc.’s (SHAK) decision to return its government PPP loan after finding $10 million in the credit markets is a solid example.
There’s also some debate about what exactly constitutes an ESG investment. MIT’s Aggregate Confusion Project found a very low correlation between ESG ratings from top ratings agencies, underscoring the difficulty of evaluating ESG factors.
The COVID-19 pandemic has also had an uneven impact on ESG-focused companies. In healthcare, socially responsible hospitals and medical offices have closed for routine business and doctors’ revenue fell 50% to 90% in some cases. These dynamics could lead to consolidation in the market.
Despite these higher operating costs and other concerns, it’s difficult to quantify the impact on investors. ESG-focused companies may have more productive employees and less turnover. These could contribute to faster revenue growth and less hiring or training costs relative to non-ESG companies.

The COVID-19 crisis has already led to a significant inflow into ESG funds as investors shift their priorities.
Investors should carefully consider the criteria used to judge the ESG attributes of a portfolio before committing any capital. With the wide array of definitions, everyone has a different idea of what it means to be ESG-focused. You should find the ideals that most closely match your investment goals.

ESG mutual funds are an easy way to align your investment holdings with your moral objectives and potentially realize higher long-term returns due to improved brand reputation and greater resilience during crises like the current pandemic.
