Environmental, Social & Governance

Overview

The need for holistic development, in aspects such as social, governance, and environment was the need of hour to implement in businesses after Paris Agreement (COP 21 - 2015), since these businesses are the driving force for the sustainable future. Therefore, ESG as a practice was introduced within organizations to help them improve their operational standards which are in line with the various environmental agreements and the 17 SDG goals (169 Targets) defined. It also provides an edge to organizations in international markets where there might be different environmental standards to cope with. Hence ESG provides a standardization to the organizations.

One might think that ESG are very restrictive, but they provide methods to overcome stringent environment, social and governance policy.
