ESG is a topic we’re hearing come up more and more lately, especially as it relates to investors. If you’re unfamiliar, ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance. At its core, ESG is helping companies and investors understand how ESG non-financial factors impact a company and how a company impacts those factors as well.
