Program Summary

“ESG” refers to the criteria that organizations use to refer to their business ethics in the areas of environmental, social and governance. With roots in philanthropy and socially-responsible investing, ESG became the acronym of choice for the frameworks through which a consumer, employee, lender or investor can analyze and understand whether and how a business’ practices match stated values. Businesses often think of ESG as doing well by doing good. Today, ESG refers to a patchwork of legal and regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations.
