Why is the Environmental-Social-Governance (ESG) Score Important?
ESG criteria cover a wide area, from the concrete steps of the companies to reduce their carbon footprints to health and safety policies for employees, from the management of supply chains to innovation, to creating a trust-based corporate culture that supports social responsibility. With the ESG performance, how much the companies consider and apply these criteria in their corporate strategies, activities, investments and policies is determined. Financial institutions that provide funds to companies also consider the ESG scores of the relevant company during the investment research process.
