Morningstar highlights companies with wide moats and strong ESG management. ESG factors like durability and sustainability mitigate long-term risks. Energy and utilities face the biggest ESG risks, while technology and real estate have the smallest. Morningstar’s ESG Risk Rating assesses companies’ vulnerability and management of ESG risks.
