AB - This study aims to clarify the principle of Christian’s economic activity and the direction of its investments. The commandment of love of neighbor demands a comprehensive pursuit of self-love and neighbor-love. The neighbor is not only the human being, but also the environment. Neighbor-love must be realized in the Christian’s economic activity. Ethical investment, based on John Wesley’s theology, promotes the interests of people and the environment.
ESG is a guideline for ethical investment. Christians should therefore avoid investing in companies that do not have an interest in protecting the environment, contributing to society, and implementing democratic structures, and should invest in companies that strive to achieve these goals. Ethical investment by Christians helps to protect people and the environment.
