What is ESG?
ESG refers to the three key factors that measure the sustainability and ethical impact of an investment or company. Environmental factors assess how a company’s operations impact the environment, such as its carbon emissions or waste management practices. Social factors evaluate a company’s relationships with its employees, customers, suppliers, and communities. Governance factors examine the company’s leadership structure, executive compensation, shareholder rights, and transparency.
Why is ESG important?
ESG has gained significant importance as investors and stakeholders increasingly recognize that sustainable and responsible business practices are crucial for long-term success. Companies that prioritize ESG considerations tend to outperform their peers in terms of financial performance, risk management, brand reputation, and employee satisfaction. Moreover, integrating ESG principles into investment decisions can contribute to positive societal change by addressing pressing global challenges like climate change and social inequality.
