What is ESG?

This acronym stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. Investors are increasingly applying these extra-financial factors as part of their analysis process to identify material risks and growth opportunities. Examples of ESG risks include human rights violations, illegal logging activities, or severe corruption allegations. Alternatively, these factors can also present opportunities to induce positive change, such as increased requirements for renewable energy investments, offering solutions for emerging markets. Integrating ESG into operations is the first step on a long road to sustainability and stability: contact us to get your business on this path.
