Certified ESG Innovator (CESGI)
Broadly, ESG can be defined as the examination of a company’s environmental, social, and governance practices, their impacts, and the company’s progress against benchmarks. In capital markets, any party may rely on information about a company’s ESG efforts, including ESG ratings, for investment decision making.
An ESG rating and the data used to calculate it provide investors and executives with a method of evaluating a company’s track record. The information is also used by investors to assess a firm’s risk exposures as well as its possible future financial performance.
As ESG has gained traction among investors, companies increasingly integrate this kind of thinking into their strategic planning, reporting, and communications choices, and leverage ESG performance as a way of tapping into new markets.
