SYNOPSIS

ESG, which stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance, is one of the three main pillars under the ESG frameworks. It represents a set of strategies supported by a coherent framework of actions and transparent communication regarding the impact of these actions. As a comprehensive report, ESG serves as the first step in implementing a strategy that enables a corporate organisation to set goals, measure performance, and manage sustainability-related impacts and risks. This approach helps provide stakeholders with a clearer understanding of the organisation’s direction. Ultimately, the main aim of ESG is to capture all the non-financial risks and opportunities inherent in an organisation’s day-to-day activities.
