What is ESG?
What is ESG? ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) is a set of standards for measuring corporate performance, covering three core areas: environmental protection, social responsibility and corporate governance. These standards not only reflect the value of a company beyond its financial performance, but also emphasize its impact on society and the environment. As global attention to sustainable development grows, the importance of the ESG concept is also increasing.
The concept of ESG was first proposed in the 1970s: the earliest concept of socially responsible investment (SRI) emerged, and investors began to consider the social and environmental impact of companies. In 2015, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which further promoted the implementation of ESG.
ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) has three core elements:
- Environmental refers to the importance of environmental protection and sustainable development.
Includes: reducing carbon emissions, improving energy efficiency, promoting green technologies, etc. - Social refers to social responsibility and influence.
Includes: employee benefits, diversity and inclusion, community engagement, etc. - Governance stands for corporate management and transparency.
Includes: board structure, shareholder rights, business ethics, etc.
