      abstract = {In recent years, the integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into investment decision-making has gained significant traction across various sectors, including renewable energy projects (Chernyshova & Shogenova, 2023). ESG criteria encompass a broad range of considerations, from environmental sustainability and social responsibility to robust governance practices, which collectively aim to promote sustainable development and long-term financial performance. This comprehensive approach reflects a growing global awareness of the need to address environmental challenges and ensure that business practices contribute positively to society and the planet (Chernyshova & Shogenova, 2023).},
