INTRODUCTION

ESG stands for Environmental (E), Social (S) & Governance (G).

These 3 dimensions represent a framework for assessing the non-financial performance and sustainability practices of organizations. 

While traditional financial analysis focuses on profitability, revenue, and return on investment, ESG considers how companies impact the planet, people, and ethical practices and how these, in turn, affect business risks, opportunities and long-terms sucess.
