Supplementary notes

The source adds that roughly 55 percent of its respondents came from Germany, with 18 percent and 16 percent, respectively, from Spain and Italy. It does not add further information on respondents from other countries.

The source does not clarify whether multiple answers were possible.

The source only provided responses to the following three answers:

Strongly agree;
Strongly or slightly agree;
Strongly disagree

As the source does not mention whether respondents could choose whether to not reply or indicate they had no opinion, answers that said "disagree" have been left out. For this statistic, only the second answer "Strongly or slightly agree" has been selected.

Citation formats

Nearly out of 10 German investors were cautious towards ESG investing, more so than those from Spain or Italy. This is according to a survey held in 2023. Survey respondents from Germany largely disagreed more on most of the proposed statements, especially when it came to potential portfolio returns or ESG being a primary factor in choosing a financial service provider. The source does not explain why these differences exist, although it does point towards a general worldwide lack of information on what ESG does and how it could potentially reach portfolio returns.
