ESG stands for ‘Environmental Social Governance’ and covers a variety of issues important to today’s business environment such as climate change, waste management, human rights, gender equality, animal welfare, and access to clean water.

ESG measurements provide a way for businesses to measure their environmental footprints, assess their social impact and ensure good governance practices are adhered to.
