Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)

Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)

Environmental issues continue to anchor the ESG movement, with climate change at the forefront. Recently, however, ESG has come to mean much more. It also refers to a variety of the internal social issues companies must navigate, such as labor practices, talent management, executive pay, internal pay equity, product and manufacturing safety, data security, board and management diversity and business ethics; as well as external social issues that are becoming increasingly important, such as financial inclusion, community uplift and responsible investment.
