ESG

Stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance, and refers to the way in which an organisation manages its impacts on, risks related to, and opportunities arising from environmental, social and governance issues. Originally the term was used by investors to refer to a variety of non-financial criteria used to evaluate companies’ performance and inform investment decision-making. Nowadays ESG is applied also more broadly to denote a company’s approach to ethical and sustainability issues linked to the organisation’s purpose and values.
