Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria are the basis for a clear set of standards for a company’s operations.
- Environmental criteria consider how a company performs as a steward of nature
- Social criteria examine how it manages relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, and the communities where it operates
- Governance deals with a company’s leadership, executive pay, audits, internal controls, and shareholder rights
In recent years, as stakeholders have taken a greater interest in the way businesses are run, ESG criteria have become a part of the reporting process.
