Achtsamkeit

„Achtsamkeit hinsichtlich der Kapitalallokation kann dazu beitragen, dass Entscheidungsträger:innen langfristige Folgen ihrer Investitionen und die Auswirkungen auf ESG-Kriterien bewusst in ihre Entscheidung einbeziehen. „Ecosystems are under pressure due to high levels of material consumption. Subjective well-being sought through other means than material rewards could make an important contribution to sustainability. A wealth of research indicates that mindfulness contributes to subjective well-being by focusing the mind on the here and now, giving rise to stronger empathy and compassion, facilitating clarification of goals and values, and enabling people to avoid the “hedonic treadmill”. There is also a body of research that shows how subjective well-being, empathy, compassion, and non-materialistic/intrinsic values are associated with more sustainable behavior.“
