Looking at the world in general, the growing population has put new policies on the agenda. It is especially seen that steps have been taken to eliminate the destruction of the environment due to the negativities experienced. Emerging issues such as natural disasters, the Chernobyl incident, the damage caused by oil tankers in the sea, and the impact of environmental factors on the economy have been put on the agenda. To create a more sustainable life cycle that eliminates climatic changes, environmental, social, and governance issues should be considered within the concept of sustainable finance. Investors have started to look at the characteristics of sustainable finance companies from a multidimensional perspective.

Based on the findings, it was concluded that emotional intelligence significantly influences investors' investment decisions in sustainable finance.
