What is ESG?

ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance factors. These provide the framework which allows investors to screen and select a company’s or fund’s sustainability credentials. These factors may influence the sustainable long-term growth and profitability of a company.

ESG has become an increasingly important consideration for investors as it can affect a company’s long-term financial performance and reputation.

Why ESG?

There are several reasons why ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) has become an important consideration for investors:

Financial performance
Some research has suggested that companies with strong ESG practices may have better financial performance over the long term, as they are able to minimize risk and better manage their operations.
Reputation
Companies with poor ESG practices may face negative publicity and backlash from consumers, employees, and other stakeholders, which can damage their reputation and financial performance.
Risk management
Companies with strong ESG practices may be better equipped to manage risks, such as regulatory changes and supply chain disruptions, which can affect financial performance.
Social responsibility
Some investors may be motivated by a desire to support companies that align with their values and make a positive social and environmental impact.
Legal and regulatory considerations
Some countries have implemented laws and regulations that require companies to disclose their ESG practices and performance.
