ESG refers to three factors which are central to a class of investing also known as “sustainable investing.”
This approach to investing incorporates a detailed assessment of a business’s governance practices as well as of its long-term impact on society and the environment.
While these are mostly non-financial factors, businesses with higher ESG standards are considered to be less risky and more likely to succeed in the long run.
