ESG
Helping you steer your ESG agenda
ESG, an acronym for Environmental, Social, and Governance, is a set of standards measuring a business’s impact on the environment and society as well as how robust and transparent its governance is in terms of company leadership, executive pay, audits, internal controls, and shareholder rights. It measures how the business integrates environmental, social, and governance practices into operations, as well as the business model, its impact, and its sustainability.
