What is ESG?
ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance — a framework for measuring how an organization manages risks and opportunities related to sustainability, social responsibility, and ethical leadership. ESG is increasingly used by investors, regulators, and enterprises to assess the long-term viability and values alignment of businesses.
