* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
The investment concept of sustainable development has taken on a general trend as the world economy enters a new stage of high-quality development. At the same time, the idea of “Environment, Social and Governance (ESG)” is becoming a popular topic in society and is being included into the growth strategies of an increasing number of businesses. This paper focuses on how ESG investments affect gender equality at work and how to reduce workplace discrimination against women. This paper offers suggestions for how to more effectively employ the ESG approach to enhance gender equality in the workplace through the retrieval and examination of pertinent material. This paper concludes that ESG investing significantly affects workplace equality. Through excellent social and enterprise management, businesses can reduce gender discrimination at work.
