  • Addition of a new reference:
A new reference [19] has been incorporated to substantiate the relevant claims:
  • Text correction:
1. In Section 1, this sentence: “The use of green energy is important for the production system [19–21].” was removed.
2. In Section 2, “Environmental, social, and governance factors were integrated for the first time in the United Nations-led “Who Cares Wins” study of 2004. Goldman Sachs [22] then put forward an investment concept incorporating environmental, social, and corporate governance.” has been changed to “Environmental, social, and governance factors were integrated for the first time in the United Nations-led “Who Cares Wins” study of the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative [19].”
With this correction, the order of some references has been adjusted accordingly. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are not affected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has been updated.
