Understanding ESG
ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. First coined in 2005, ESG covers a wide range of issues that may have a direct or indirect impact on financial relevance. Some of these issues that come under the purview of ESG reporting include resource management, supply chain management, organizational health, safety policies, and building trust through transparency.
Benefits of ESG
Performance
Environmental criteria measures how a company performs as a steward of the environment through its energy use, waste generation, pollution, natural resource conservation and treatment of animals.
Associate
Social criteria looks at how a company treats its employees, suppliers, customers and communities.
Management
Governance criteria considers how a company conducts its business and encompasses its leadership, executive pay, audits, internal controls and shareholder rights.
What is ESG strategy?
ESG provides a view of a company and its long-term value potential and relevance to its stakeholders. An ESG rating measures environmental and social impacts and the effectiveness of corporate governance in managing them. Organizations create ESG strategies to help them act on and measure what is mutually good for profits, people, and the planet.
What is ESG Investing?
ESG investing is a socially responsible investment management approach that takes into account companies’ impact on their communities and the planet at large. While nearly a quarter of all U.S. professional investments today fall into this category, hardly any of that comes from company-sponsored retirement plans. Less than 13 percent of 401(k) providers offer an ESG option, according to a 2019 survey.
Two-thirds of investors take ESG factors into account when investing in a company meaning ESG has the potential to grow your business while benefiting the environment and community.
Investors often refer to ESG investing interchangeably with other concepts such as ethical investing, socially responsible investing, green investing, sustainable investing and impact investing.
ESG investing offers both a statement of ambition for the world as well as provides objective and rigorous criteria for identifying investments that can help our journey towards these goals.
