Environmental, Social & Governance
As many equity companies grade potential investments on the criteria of environmental, social, and governance (ESG), maximizing your company’s scores on those items becomes even more important.
The environmental criterion analyzes the company’s nature stewardship, while its social aspects examine its employee, vendor, customer, and community relationships. Finally, the governance criterion examines the leadership of the company, including its executive pay, shareholder rights, internal controls, as well as audits.
Why your ESG score matters
Your comprised ESG score helps investors determine which firms prioritize the same values that they hold. An environmentalist looking to invest in new companies might only consider companies with environmentally sound practices that reduce their carbon footprint. Similarly, some investors prioritize companies that treat their employees well and recruit qualified, minority employees, especially for their leadership positions.
