Environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) is a set of standards designed to measure and improve how a company affects the planet and its people. ESG is important because customers, governments, and other stakeholders increasingly evaluate an organization’s performance against these criteria, not just financial results, and socially conscious investors increasingly use ESG criteria to screen potential investments. Collectively, these criteria evaluate a company’s stewardship of the planet, its communities, and its people.
