ESG criteria are a set of standards for a company’s operations that today’s socially conscious investors use to screen potential investments.
- Environmental criteria look at how a company performs as a steward of nature in protecting the planet.
- Social criteria examine how the company manages relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, and the communities where it operates.
- Governance deals with a company’s leadership, the pay of its executives, audits, internal controls, and shareholder rights.
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria are an increasingly popular way for investors to evaluate companies in which they might want to invest. Using ESG criteria can also help investors avoid companies that could pose a greater financial risk due to below par environmental or other practices.
This course is an introduction to these criteria and how they may be used.
