Young Investors Have Weakened Their Stance on ESG, Study Reveals
Support for ESG has plummeted among Millennial and Gen Z investors, typically the strongest backers for environmental, social and governance-related issues, as a more turbulent financial outlook tempers enthusiasm, according to a survey from Stanford University and the Hoover Institution.
Less than half of millennial and Gen Z investors, those aged 41 and younger, said they were “very concerned” about environmental issues this year, down from 70% in 2022. That same group is now much less willing to give up market returns to meet their ideals, according to the survey of about 1,000 investors conducted this fall.
