In a nutshell, Environmental, Social and corporate Governance (ESG) are those factors which allow to measure the sustainability risks and opportunities of an investment and describe material, non-financial issues that investors and management consider in the evaluation of corporate behaviour, with a strong focus on climate change transparency and regulatory requirements driven by the EU Taxonomy and the SFDR.
It has been demonstrated that enhancing ESG performance results in improving a number of KPIs such as financial returns, access to capital (have a look here at the amazing story of a Client of ours), risk management, fiduciary responsibility obligations, resources efficiency, insurance costs, stewardship, positive environmental, social and economic impacts, communication with stakeholders, staff retention and of course brand reputation.
Please have a look at our HOME and ABOUT webpages where we provide more details about ESG.
