What is environmental, social and governance (ESG)?
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) is a framework used to assess an organization business practices and performance on various sustainability and ethical issues. It also provides a way to measure business risks and opportunities in those areas.
In capital markets, some investors use ESG criteria to evaluate companies and help determine their investment plans, a practice known as ESG investing.While sustainability, ethics and corporate governance are generally considered to be non-financial performance indicators, the role of an ESG program is to ensure accountability and the implementation of systems and processes to manage a company's impact, such as its carbon footprint.
