What Do ESG Ratings Measure?
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) ratings are increasingly used by investors and stakeholders to assess a company’s sustainability practices, responsible business conduct and long-term impact.
The three key components of ESG ratings are:
- Environmental: Evaluates a company’s use of natural resources, waste management, pollution control, and risks and opportunities associated with environmental regulations and climate change.
- Social: Examines how a company manages its relationships with employees, suppliers, customers and the communities in which it operates.
- Governance: Assesses corporate leadership, executive compensation, audits, internal controls and shareholder rights.
These parameters provide a broader picture of how businesses manage their environmental and social responsibilities alongside corporate governance practices.
