From business perspective, it implies conducting business operations ethically, responsibly and transparently while leaving less negative impacts on the society and environment. ESG, Environmental, Social and Governance is a framework through which a business can embrace Sustainability in a measured way.
ESG has been on top of the agenda for the corporate boardrooms in recent times due to wide spread awareness of green economy, changing consumer preferences, and investors inclination towards responsible/ impact investing coupled with the regulatory initiatives on climate-related disclosures by businesses.
