ESG (Environmental, social, and corporate governance) is a framework designed to be integrated into an organization’s strategy to create enterprise value by expanding the organizational objectives to include the identification, assessment and management of sustainability-related risks and opportunities in respect to all organizational stakeholders (including but not limited to customers, suppliers and employees) and the environment. A variety of organizations and financial institutions have devised ways to measure the extent to which a specific corporation is aligned with ESG goals. The most prominent global movement in this regards is the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by United Nations.
