What are some of the ESG funds (sustainable investing) that we can invest in Singapore?

I don't see any question about ESG Funds or topics about sustainable investing.

These are the ones I got from FSM. Quite limited but worth a look.

Locally, I think the options are limited.
Stocks & Bonds

You can choose to invest in green chip stocks and/or bonds. This can allow more investments in technology to improve the environment (e.g. sustainable sources of energy). You can also choose to not invest in companies with high levels of pollution, e.g. O&G sectors.

Funds

If you're looking at funds, similarly, you can invest in green energy or even water exchange traded funds. Majority of these funds are domiciled in the US and there will be withholding tax, therefore it is good to research if there are such funds domiciled in a country with no/low tax. If you do not like investing in the energy sector, you can consider comparing ETFs by their carbon footprint, emissions per unit of investment (https://fossilfreefunds.org). You can then choose a fund with pollution level at something you're comfortable with.​​​
