The promotion of the concept of sustainable development has made ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investing a significant trend in today's investment landscape. This article elaborates on the relevant concepts of ESG investing, analyzes the global development of ESG investing, explores the relationship between ESG ratings and company financial and non-financial performance, and suggests the correlation between rating systems and capital costs, employee satisfaction, and more. Based on this foundation, the article discusses the specific application of ESG factors in international portfolio management, including ESG integration methods, portfolio construction strategies, and risk management. Research indicates that the consideration of ESG factors provides a more comprehensive dimension for investment decision-making, emphasizing sustainability in investment portfolios, and offering valuable insights for investors and businesses.
