What is ESG?
ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. It is a set of criteria used to evaluate and measure the sustainability and ethical impact of a company or organisation. ESG factors are used by investors, stakeholders, and other interested parties to assess a company’s performance and its potential long-term viability.
Here’s a breakdown of what each element represents:
Environmental (E): This aspect focuses on a company’s impact on the environment. It includes factors such as the company’s carbon emissions, water usage, waste management practices, renewable energy adoption, and efforts to mitigate climate change and environmental risks.
Social (S): The social aspect of ESG looks into a company’s treatment of its employees, customers, suppliers, and communities in which it operates. It considers factors like labour practices, employee relations, diversity and inclusion, health and safety, product quality and safety, and community engagement.
Governance (G): Governance refers to the structure and practices of a company’s leadership and management. It examines aspects such as the independence and competence of the board of directors, executive compensation, shareholder rights, transparency, and adherence to ethical and legal standards.
ESG criteria are important for investors and stakeholders who are increasingly considering ethical and sustainable practices as part of their investment decisions. Companies that perform well on ESG factors are often seen as more responsible, resilient, and likely to have better long-term performance, making them attractive to socially conscious investors.
ESG investing has gained significant momentum in recent years as a way to align financial goals with environmental and social values. Many investment funds and financial institutions now offer ESG-focused investment products, such as ESG funds or green bonds, to cater to the growing demand for responsible and sustainable investing.
