Interpreting the ESG acronym

Originally, ESG was an acronym used by the investment community to assess non-financial value by examining a company's impact on the environment and society, and their internal governance strength. How has it developed since?

In the second report of our ESG Ignite series, we learn that the scope of ESG can differ between organisations based on the industry, business makeup and corporate priorities. Each organisation faces their own, often competing, ESG opportunities and challenges.

What's covered in this report?

  • Introduction: our ESG
  • A breakdown of the E, S and G
  • Sector spotlights: education, health & care, and food & agriculture
  • Practical steps in using the ESG framework
