ESG, or environmental, social, and governance (ESG), Investing refers to the making of investment decisions by environmental and/or socially conscious investors based on a set of standards or requirements for a company’s behavior. Environmental criteria consider how a company protects the environment, including corporate policies addressing climate change. Social criteria examine how a company values and supports relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, and its local communities. Governance deals with, among other things, a company’s leadership, executive compensation, and shareholder rights.

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.

A pre-IPO placement is a late-stage offering to raise funds by a company in advance of its initial public offering. The investors are typically private equity firms, hedge funds, and other large institutional investors. Due to the size of the investments and the significant risk, the investors typically receive a discount from the price in the eventual IPO. Individual investors rarely participate in pre-IPO placements. They are generally restricted to high-net-worth individuals with a sophisticated knowledge of the financial markets. For the company, the placement is a way to raise funds and offset the risk that the IPO will not be as successful as hoped.
