Unwrapping sustainability

What is ESG?

ESG stands for environment, social and governance. These are the three key factors a company must consider in its organizational strategy to build long-term sustainability.

Environment
The environmental factor in ESG considers a company's responsibility towards the environment. It considers factors such as energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, pollution, impact on biodiversity and use of natural resources.

Social
The social factor in ESG examines how well a company manages relationships with employees, suppliers, customers and the community. It considers areas such as diversity, inclusion, human rights, health and safety and customer data and privacy.

Governance
The governance-related factor in ESG deals with how a company governs itself. Governance factors often consider leadership, internal controls, audits, shareholder rights and focus on risks in areas such as compliance with accounting standards, tax, whistleblowing and bribery and corruption.
