What is ESG?
ESG stands for “Environment“, “Social” and “Governance“, and it was first proposed by the United Nations Global Compact in 2004. ESG is seen as a framework that helps stakeholders understand how an organisation is managing risks and opportunities related to environmental, social, and governance criteria, it is also the basis for enterprises to gain trust from customers and investors.
Environmental protection in the meaning of ESG includes climate change, pollution and waste management, renewable energy, etc., social responsibility includes human resource development, product safety responsibility, stakeholder veto power, etc., and corporate governance includes business ethics, competitive behaviour, financial system stability and transparency, etc.
With the increasing awareness in ESG, countries have begun to pay attention to promoting the concept of ESG sustainable development. Subsequently, in 2015, the United Nations put forward the “2030 Sustainable Development Goals” (SDGs), which contain 17 core goals to guide all countries to work together towards sustainability, promoting economic prosperity and protecting the planet.
