Environmental, social, and corporate governance (commonly known as ESG) is a set of standards that attempts to evaluate a company’s sustainability and societal impact. Although these factors are not quantified (and are often not even quantifiable) under traditional generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), socially conscious investors increasingly consider them when making investment decisions. The desire of many investors is more transparency related to ESG. Many mutual funds and brokerage firms even offer products specifically designed to incorporate ESG criteria.
