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.
