Environmental, Social and Governance Investing

Make an impact with ESG investing solutions from First Hawaiian Bank.

Invest in your values

Investors are increasingly interested in sustainable investing and aligning their long-term investing objectives with their social and sustainability values. Environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards can help you decide where to invest your money not only to see financial benefits, but also to reduce some risks and positively impact the future.

Environmental standards

Environmental

Environmental standards in ESG investments focus on environmental factors such as climate change policies, greenhouse gas emission goals, carbon footprint, water usage, use of renewable energies, recycling and safe disposal practices, and employee-focused environmental programs.

Social

Social standards in ESG investing focus on human rights, labor standards, employee safety, supply-chain factors such as responsibly sourced supplies, community and stakeholder relationships, and liabilities such as data security.

Governance standards

Governance

Governance standards in ESG investing cover corporate governance matters like diversity, executive compensation, corporate behavior, transparency, and board quality and effectiveness.
