Abstract
Nowadays, ESG investment, which involves environmental (E), social (S) and governance (G) elements, become a hit. Not only the leader of companies but also the public were attracted by such investments aimed at long-term benefits. However, at present, there exist many problems with ESG investment, such as, lack of standard, return, and supervision for it. At the same time, with the development of economy and social concept, corporations increasingly play a greater role in society. As a result, corporations are expected to assume a series of social responsibilities by the public. ESG investment and corporate social responsibilities, obviously the two concepts have something in common. Therefore, the paper focuses on the two concepts and tries to answer ESG-related problems from the perspective of corporate social responsibilities. First, through the analysis and summary of relevant research, the paper concludes the relationship between the two. Second, through data analysis and case studies, the paper explores the benefits of ESG investment if it embodies the assumption of corporate social responsibility. Last, the paper concludes with what and how we should do to promote ESG investment for the purpose of making companies assume more social responsibility.
