Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is ESG?
ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance, the three key pillars in a set of standards used to analyze a company's performance on critical sustainability and ethical issues. Investors and stakeholders increasingly use ESG frameworks to assess a company's long-term value and potential risks.
Environmental: This considers a company's impact on the environment, including energy consumption, waste management, and climate change mitigation strategies.
Social: This delves into a company's labor practices, diversity and inclusion efforts, and its impact on the local community.
Governance: This assesses a company's leadership, transparency, risk management practices, and adherence to ethical business conduct.
What are green jobs and why do they matter in Singapore?
Green jobs encompass roles across various industries and functions that significantly contribute to environmental preservation and restoration.
Green jobs are a rapidly growing sector in Singapore, driven by two key forces:
