What Are Different Types of Environmental Investments?

Environmental investment decision-making refers to the choice of enterprises when investing to reduce pollution and improve the environment. In order to achieve the goal of sustainable development, governments in various countries have gradually transformed from tail-end governance to comprehensive governance in terms of environmental protection measures, put in place clean production, and emphasized the adoption of optimal environmental technologies. Therefore, environmental investment has been put on the agenda of enterprises. When evaluating an investment project, technical, environmental, and financial factors often need to be considered. Before making investment decisions, companies must be able to understand changes in the market, technology, and other aspects of their industry, and propose different types and quantities of investment projects for decision-making. After the project is selected, the technical capabilities of the enterprise must be considered first; secondly, a comprehensive analysis of environmental factors must be carried out, and all environmental costs and benefits related to the project must be confirmed and measured; and finally, financial analysis is performed. ^[1]
