Environmental, social, and governance (ESG)
ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. These criteria evaluate a company’s sustainability and ethical impact—factors that can influence long-term performance.
- Environmental: How a business manages its carbon footprint, energy efficiency, and waste.
- Social: A company’s impact on people—covering labour practices, human rights, and diversity.
- Governance: The policies and structures guiding a firm—like executive compensation, board diversity, and shareholder rights.
By focusing on ESG, investors aim to support responsibly run businesses that are well-positioned for the future.
