Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Guidelines

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) guidelines are a set of standards used by investors and organizations to evaluate a company's responsible practices. Environmental criteria assess how a company manages its impact on nature, like pollution and resource use. Social factors look at how it treats employees, communities, and customers. Governance involves the company's leadership, transparency, and ethical decision-making. Together, ESG guidelines help investors identify companies that prioritize sustainable and ethical operations, aiming for long-term success while minimizing negative societal and environmental effects.
