Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)
What is ESG?
ESG is a set of context-based policies, practices, risks and opportunities that build resilience and help maintain long-term value when assessed against and integrated into firm strategy.
Why ESG?
For businesses of all sizes, disclosure of ESG information has evolved into a business necessity. Its evolution is in response to broad stakeholder pressure seeking decision-useful (investing, hiring, partnership, purchasing etc.) information, helping to decipher the relevance of business impacts, risks and opportunities that affect long-term viability and value.
