Understanding ESG
Beyond the public-spirited reasons for a company to act as a caring, global citizen, the sense of broader responsibility that a business demonstrates is increasingly seen as necessary to its long-term growth, profitability, sustainability and investability. A company's tangible results and intangible contributions are becoming more inextricably intertwined, and the market perception, profile and strategy of a company have come to depend more than ever on its leadership on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues.
To this end, investors and other stakeholders, particularly large institutional shareholders and others with a focus on corporate social responsibility, are now actively scrutinizing and assessing company business plans for how they address issues such as:
​
-
Climate Change, including economic threats related to global warming and economic opportunities arising from alternative energy sources, sustainable technologies, and ocean and atmospheric science;

-
Public Health, including the impact of health-related crises; and

Compliance and Integrity, including combatting corruption in procurement and other public and private sector arrangements and transactions...
