Abstract
This paper explores the intersection of commodity markets, sustainability, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. The study evaluates the potential impact of ESG considerations on commodity prices and their implications for commodity investing and related investment strategies. Additionally, the impact of geopolitical and climate risks on commodity markets is examined.
By analyzing historical data and current trends, the paper measures the relevance of sustainable commodities, such as renewable energy sources and organic agricultural products, in relation to long-term environmental and social goals, for investors. The study also investigates whether incorporating ESG factors into commodity investments can enhance portfolio resilience, thereby contributing to the broader objective of sustainable development.
This paper provides valuable insights for investors and policymakers interested in promoting sustainability within the commodity markets.
