What is ESG?
ESG is an abbreviation that stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. ESG is often called sustainability, which is about how a company's products and services contribute to sustainable development.
ESG constitutes a threefold focus on non-financial considerations, which, for example, investors can use to assess the company's ability to safeguard the climate/environment, social conditions, rights, and responsible and ethical business management.
These considerations can be used, amongst other things, as part of financial risk assessment, where a good ESG score is expected to give a more sustainable, long-term return. Non-financial factors are often less measurable but are increasingly considered to be at least as important.
