Law Glossary
What Is Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)?
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) refers to non-financial factors that investors and stakeholders may consider to assess company operations and performance. These criteria have come to prominence as investors, particularly “socially responsible investors,” have used ESG to screen potential investments and as a measure of risks and opportunities that could impact a company’s ability to create long-term value.

ESG in finance can refer to, among other things, financing tools such as Green, Social, and Sustainability Bonds and similar ESG-related debt instruments, as well as the separate discipline of ESG Investing. ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. Investors are increasingly applying these non-financial factors as part of their analysis to identify ESG-related risks and opportunities in particular investments. ESG metrics have not historically been included in financial reporting, though companies are increasingly making disclosures in their annual report or in a standalone sustainability report, and regulatory requirements for such disclosures, including from the SEC, are expanding.
