So what is ESG?

ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) is a concept that integrates environmental, social and corporate governance considerations into business decision-making and financial investments. The goal is to encourage responsible investments that take into account not only financial profit, but also the impact on the planet, society and the proper management of organizations.

ESG reports are designed to present a transparent picture of a company's performance in these areas, while providing important information to investors and stakeholders. This type of investment grows out of moral values ​​and smart financial practices, based on the understanding that companies that promote sustainability, equality, and responsible governance tend to perform better over time.

Interest in ESG has grown significantly in recent years, partly due to the understanding that a lack of preparedness to deal with challenges such as climate change or social issues may jeopardize the stability of companies and investments in them. Accordingly, financial institutions combine economic analyses with an examination of how companies manage their activities in these responsible aspects.
