| dc.description.abstract | Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) refers to a framework used to assess how responsibly a company conducts its business beyond its financial performance. The environmental aspect focuses on issues such as climate change, pollution control, waste management, resource conservation and biodiversity protection.4 The social aspect examines matters relating to labour practices, employee welfare, human rights, diversity, consumer protection and community engagement. The governance aspect concerns the manner in which a company is managed, including board accountability transparency, ethical business conduct, anti-corruption measures and effective risk management. Together, these three pillars provide a comprehensive framework for evaluating a company's long-term sustainability, resilience and ability to create lasting value. As a result, companies are no longer expected to focus only on the interests of their shareholders. They are also expected to consider the interests of employees, consumers, local communities, regulators and the environment while making business decisions. | |
