OVERVIEW

ESG, an acronym for environmental, social and governance, is a generic term used in capital markets to characterise a socially responsible investment (SRI). Over the years, the practice of ESG investing has begun to take on a more important role in capital markets leading to a rise in impact conscious investors.
