These slides discusses on the environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors for responsible investment. It briefly covers the ongoing crisis our world economy is dealing with today, which adversely affects business owners and investors alike.
This Research Spotlight provides a summary of the academic literature on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) activities including:
• The relation between ESG activities and firm value
• The impact of environmental and social engagements on firm performance
• The market reaction to ESG events
• The relation between ESG and agency problems
• The performance of socially responsible investment (SRI) funds
This Research Spotlight expands upon issues introduced in the Quick Guide “Investors and Activism”.
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) refers to the three main areas of concern that have developed as central factors in measuring the sustainability and ethical impact of an investment in a company or business. These areas cover a broad set of concerns increasingly included in the non-financial factors that figure in the valuation of equity, real-estate, corporate, and fixed-income investments. ESG is the catch-all term for the criteria used in what has become known as socially-responsible investing. Socially responsible investing is among several related concepts and approaches that influence and, in some cases govern, how asset managers invest portfolios.
ESG is best characterized as a framework that helps stakeholders understand how an organization is managing risks and opportunities related to environmental, social, and governance criteria.

The Rise, Impact, and Challenges of ESG Factor Based Investing.JacobReynolds24
Covers a wide range of topic regarding ESG integration and ESG factor-based investing.
With many pension funds starting to follow the UN’s PRIs, and the signatories representing $70 trillion. ESG factor-based investing cannot be ignored, regardless of the participant's principles. The divestitures we are seeing by major players such as GPIF, Norwegian Oil Fund, CalSTRS as well as many smaller endowment funds.
Has this led to an increase in PE activity in the affected sectors, the driver is that the –what can be seen as forced- selling leading to said companies trading at a discount in public markets. Which leads to the question: through ESG conscious funds investing inline with their principles, do they end up bounding their returns (in the case of tobacco divestment) and arguably making the companies who are deemed poor on the E and S vector less transparent and accountable.
This presentation helps you gain a good understanding of the fundamentals of ESG by explaining the following.
1. What is ESG - Definition and ESG Issues
2. What is ESG VS Responsible Investment (RI) - Definition of RI | Relationship between ESG and RI | Investment profile of RI vs Sustainable Investing vs Impact Investing
3. Why is ESG Important - Two Main Reasons
4. Who should Care about ESG - Key Stakeholders
5. Why They should Care - Reasons for each Stakeholder to Understand and Consider ESG Integration
6. How to Integrate ESG into Investment Process - Overview of Traditional vs ESG-Integrated Investment Process

ESG-ROADMAP
With the effects of climate change already upon us, the need to cut global greenhouse gas emissions is nothing less than urgent. It’s a daunting challenge, but the technologies and strategies to meet it exist today. A small set of ESG policies, designed and implemented well, can put us on the path to a low carbon future. ESG Key Performance Indicators are complex, so they must be sector specific, focused and cost-effective. One-size-fits-all approaches simply won’t get the job done. Sustainability managers need a clear, comprehensive resource that outlines the ESG policies that will have the biggest impact on our climate future, and describes how to implement these policies well within their own organisations.
We don’t need to wait for new technologies or strategies to create a low carbon future—and we can’t afford to. ESG-ROADMAP gives professionals the tools they need to select, design, and implement the policies that can put us on the path to a livable climate future.
The Environmental Social Governance challenges e.g: on regulatory and reputational risks, market scandals and new market opportunities makes ESG information a data source of growing importance. With ESG in company seminars, round table discussions, scholarships and online association programs, we leave no one behind. Sign up today.

Here is a slide deck on environmental and social governance investing. This is a long tern investment strategy that plays a large role in helping influence companies to take care of the environment around us.
A tour of the global ESG standards landscape, 100 days out from COP26, explaining how Inline XBRL, a building block approach to international standards consistency, and independent review of coming mandatory ESG disclosures will change reporting. Presented to the Taiwan Stock Exchange 21 July 2021.
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing is bringing a new lens to the world of traditional investment management. ESG is increasingly becoming a key decision criterion within the institutional and retail channels as investors seek to ensure that their investments align with their values. In this webinar, we will provide a unique understanding of distribution trends driven by ESG criteria vital to product development and sales strategies for Asset Managers.
Broadridge has partnered with MSCI ESG Research to provide Asset Managers with access to ESG factors for funds. On this webinar, we will provide a detailed overview of ESG investment trends as well as present an overview of a unique set of data that provides ESG transparency on more than 27,000 funds.
January 2024. Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) is a framework that helps investors evaluate how a company manages risk and opportunities around sustainability issues. ESG takes a comprehensive view that extends beyond the environmental aspect to include the social and corporate governance aspects.
ESG metrics are non-financial indicators that evaluate companies' ESG performance. They are quantitative, such as GHG emissions; and qualitative, such as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
ESG reporting is the public disclosure of ESG data. Its purpose is to shed light on a company’s ESG activities and improve transparency with investors.
ESG reporting offers many advantages to a business, including improved reputation, being more attractive to investors, competitive advantage, improved performance, resilient and sustainable business, capacity building, and climate change mitigation.
However, ESG reporting faces challenges such as the lack of a universal standard, being complex requiring specialized expertise, risk of greenwashing, and constantly changing regulations.
An ESG framework is a structured approach to ESG reporting. Using an ESG framework produces measurable, actionable, and credible results.
ESG standards translate ESG framework principles into action by specifying factors such as metrics, methodologies, and reporting formats. The absence of a universal ESG reporting standard has resulted in reliance on various standards.
The most commonly used ESG reporting standards include Task Force on Climate related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and United Nations Global Compact (UNGC).
ESG compliance refers to meeting or exceeding ESG guidelines established by the compliance frameworks and regulatory bodies.
An ESG rating, also called an ESG score, provides a benchmark for investors to evaluate a company’s ESG performance and compare it to other companies.
Policy wise, the Sustainable Stock Exchanges (SSE) initiative was launched in 2009 to improve corporate transparency and performance on ESG issues. The SSE is coordinated by United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), and UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA).
In this slideshow, you will learn about the definition, advantages, challenges, implementation steps, UN policy, and global statistics of ESG reporting. For more slideshows on environmental sustainability, please visit s2adesign.com

Sustainable investing and ESG criteria are gaining traction around the world as more people and organizations recognize the critical role they play in fostering a more sustainable future. This article will explain what sustainable investing is, the significance of ESG criteria. I also explains how this approach can benefit the environment, society, and business practices.
Understanding Sustainable Investing
Defined Sustainable Investing Making financial investments in businesses or projects that aim to have long-term positive effects on the environment, society, and governance (ESG) is what sustainable investing entails. It seeks to align financial objectives with ethical and environmental principles.
The Three Bottom Lines: The concept of the triple bottom line, which includes three key elements: people (social), planet (environmental), and profit (economic), is a fundamental principle of sustainable investing. Investors assess the potential of an investment based on how well it affects these three factors.
The Significance of ESG Criteria
Introduction to ESG Criteria: Criteria for Environmental, Social, and Governance ESG is an acronym that stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. Investors use these criteria to assess a company's operations and how it addresses key sustainability issues.
Environmental Criteria: Environmental Standards Environmental criteria assess a company's environmental impact. It takes into account things like carbon footprint, energy efficiency, waste management, and water usage. Investors look for companies that are committed to reducing their environmental footprint.
Social Criteria: Social criteria are concerned with a company's interactions with its employees, communities, and society as a whole. Labor practices, diversity and inclusion, employee well-being, and community engagement are all important considerations. Investors want to back companies that prioritize fairness and inclusion.
Criteria for Governance: The governance criteria of a company evaluate its leadership, ethics, and transparency. It includes aspects such as board structure, executive compensation, shareholder rights, and compliance with legal and ethical standards. Companies with strong governance practices are valued by investors.
Benefits of ESG Integration: The Advantages of ESG Integration Incorporating ESG criteria into investment decisions can result in a number of advantages. It assists in risk management by identifying potential issues with sustainability and corporate governance. Furthermore, companies with strong ESG performance frequently demonstrate long-term sustainability and resilience, which can translate to improved financial performance.
How Sustainable Investing Makes a Difference
Environmental Impact: Sustainable investing helps to create a greener future by allocating funds to environmentally responsible businesses and projects. This can result in less pollution, more conservation of natural resources.

Cette étude mondiale menée pour la première fois dans 18 pays auprès de plus de 100 fonds d’investissement, représentant plus de 860 milliards de dollars d'actifs sous gestion, mesure l’influence grandissante des critères ESG (environnemental, social et de gouvernance) dans la profession du capital investissement.
CITI: Guidance for Investor Relations Officers on Managing ESG DemandMike Wallace
We were asked to speak to a group of CITI clients about the latest trends in #sustainability and #ESG. This presentation provides the latest information on the growth of the #ESG market, as well as real examples of corporate ESG data and how it is being presented to and used by intermediaries like Bloomberg, MSCI, Sustainalytics and others, as well as by asset owners and managers.
What is socially responsible investment?dean771100
Socially Responsible Investments
Socially responsible investing is one of several similar approaches and concepts that impact how asset managers invest, in a socially responsible way. SRI's have been around for over 30 years in one form or another, and take the desire to make money and use it to create a better world. Companies which generate positive, measurable social and environmental change alongside a financial return. Keep in mind that it is a developing niche and therefore not without hiccups.
ERM partnered with a range of leading experts and institutions in June 2019 to bring the latest ESG and sustainability information to the Asian markets. Partners in this tour included, the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET); Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX); Bloomberg; Citi; Robeco; The Economist; and CDP.
A set of criteria for a company's conduct known as environmental, social, and governance (ESG Meaning) investing is used by socially responsible investors to evaluate possible investments. Environmental criteria take into account a company's environmental protection efforts, such as corporate climate change policies. Under social criteria, the management of connections with clients, partners, staff, and the communities in which it operates is reviewed. Governance includes the areas of leadership, executive compensation, audits, internal controls, and shareholder rights.
Organizations are identifying the importance of ESG investing. For ESG investing, independent assessments of the E, S, and G policies is also critical.
David F. Larcker, Brian Tayan, Vinay Trivedi, and Owen Wurzbacher, Stanford Closer Look Series, July 2, 2019
Currently, there is much debate about the role that non-investor stakeholder interests play in the governance of public companies. Critics argue that greater attention should be paid to the interest of stakeholders and that by investing in initiatives and programs to promote their interests, companies will create long-term value that is greater, more sustainable, and more equitably shared among investors and society. However, advocacy for a more stakeholder-centric governance model is based on assumptions about managerial behavior that are relatively untested. In this Closer Look, we examine survey data of the CEOs and CFOs of companies in the S&P 1500 Index to understand the extent to which they incorporate stakeholder needs into the business planning and long-term strategy, and their view of the costs and benefits of ESG-related programs.
We ask:
• What are the real costs and benefits of ESG?
• How do companies signal to constituents that they take ESG activities seriously?
• How accurate are the ratings of third-party providers that rate companies on ESG factors?
• Do boards understand the short- and long-term impact of ESG activities?
• Do boards believe this investment is beneficial for the company?
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria are a set of indicators used by socially conscious investors to evaluate possible investments. In today's business world, which is becoming more competitive and erratic, ESG factors are becoming more crucial in determining things like profitability, operational performance, due diligence practices, and divestments.
Material Engagement (with suppliment included)Nawar Alsaadi
Material Engagement is the missing link between the sharp growth in ESG aligned assets, and the lack of progress on many of the pressing environmental, social and governance issues facing humanity today. The sustainability priorities of Material Engagement are grounded in human rights by virtue of its focus on the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Furthermore, by linking the SDGs to SASB’s Materiality Map, the Material Engagement approach provides the legal, commercial, and strategic impetus for companies to make the SDGs a reality. Said another way, Material Engagement is an approach that combines the heart (SDGs) with the brain (SASB) thus birthing a new sustainable business reality, one that’s rooted in human rights, and guided by the power and genius of private enterprise. In addition to its powerful intellectual and moral foundation, Material Engagement offers a turn-key sustainability engagement solution, with relevant KPIs, scope and milestones blueprints, clear timelines, escalation pathways, and communication methods. Material Engagement is the missing link between the world we have, and the world humanity deserves.

In this month's SlideShare we'll be covering the topic of carbon credits and carbon offsets and how these instruments are implemented to reduce carbon emissions to combat climate change. While the terms are often used interchangeably, carbon credits and carbon offsets does have certain key differences we'll be exploring. There are also important milestones to note, from the US Clean Air Act and Kyoto Protocol to UN Carbon Offset Platform. Over recent years, the carbon market value have grown significantly from EUR 186 billion in 2018 to EUR 850 billion in 2022.
This month's SlideShare will explore something different, as we'll be looking into the potential of cannabis-based medication for treating various conditions from epileptic seizures to nausea and neuropathic pain. The slides start with a brief overview of the cannabis sativa plant and the active chemicals involved, namely THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabinol). We will also cover the legal status of cannabis, namely in the United States of America, South America, Asia & Australia. Further, the slides will contain key facts and figures, followed by cannabis-based pharma that has been approved by the FDA.
Food security is defined as when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs. While more than enough food is produced to feed the entire planet, more than 828 million people go hungry daily. These slides talk about the rising threat of world hunger and sustainable solutions for global food security.
