Characteristics of green investment

The traditional investment model is formed under the traditional economy. Its main feature is that it does not consider the shortage of resources and environmental protection, or pays little attention to these factors and consequences, and achieves the purpose of profit through capital investment. Earning profits is the only goal of investment. This kind of investment behavior can easily make manufacturers ignore the negative impact of production on society and environment and give up corporate social responsibility in the production process. Green investment is the opposite. Green investment forms green productivity, which is manifested in the implementation of clean production in production, that is, energy-saving, material-saving, no waste or less waste recycling production materials; Products, miniaturization (less waste), multi-function (more useful), recyclable, less environmental pollution; In environmental protection, production and environmental protection are carried out at the same time. The production process is not only an output process, but also a process of anti-pollution and pollution control.

Compared with traditional investment, the characteristics of green investment are:

1. Green investment essentially reflects the harmonious development of economy, society and ecology, and is an investment based on sustainable development. The traditional investment behavior relies on the massive consumption of resources and the demand and destruction of the environment by economic growth, resulting in the tense relationship between human beings and the environment, and even human beings are often retaliated by the environment. Under the green investment mode, human beings unify environmental protection and product production, pay attention to resource conservation and scientific utilization, and pay equal attention to utilization and maintenance, so as to restore natural resources and the environment and achieve ecological balance.

2. Green investment is economic man's investment based on the concept of ecological environment. Investors are not only economic people who pursue economic interests, but also investors with a sense of social responsibility. In his investment decision-making, his selection criteria are economic, social and environmental triple criteria, not a single economic standard.

3. Capital formed by green investment is green capital, which can promote the growth of green GDP. The productivity formed by this kind of green capital investment is different from the traditional productivity, and it is the ability of harmonious development between man and nature explored by human beings in long-term production. The output of green investment activities is the increase of green GDP, which reflects the important role of environmental value in GDP.

4. The income of green investment is triple surplus, including economic, social and ecological benefits. Traditional investment gains a single surplus, that is, profit. In terms of value creation, green investment creates long-term value, while traditional investment gains short-term benefits.

5. Green investment has higher scientific and technological content and social value. Traditional investment also needs the support of science and technology. The trend of diminishing marginal productivity of investment is restrained by technological progress, and economic growth can be sustained. However, due to the neglect of resource conservation and environmental protection in traditional investment, the bottleneck of resources has increased and the cost of environmental governance has increased. As a result, the real growth rate slows down and the side effects of growth increase. Green investment behavior unifies production investment and prevention of environmental pollution, and at the same time eliminates the adverse effects of economic growth, thus achieving sustainable economic and social development.
