ESG
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) is a framework for sustainability management, ethical practices and conscious consumerism that is gaining widespread popularity in the business world. Socially conscious investors and other stakeholders, including employees, customers, regulators, suppliers and distributors, want to know about a company’s stance on socioeconomic factors, its sustainability efforts and its corporate governance processes. An ESG strategy is an organization-wide approach that adjusts a company’s environmental, social and governance practices to increase business sustainability.
