Environmental Action

The E in ESG (Environmental) focuses on the adopted practices and policies related to the environment. It addresses how the company manages its environmental impacts, deals with sustainability issues, and seeks to promote the conservation and protection of the environment.

The environmental approach of ESG encompasses a wide range of considerations, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, conserving natural resources, waste management, energy efficiency, biodiversity conservation, and adaptation to climate change.

There are several ways in which companies can demonstrate their commitment to the environmental aspect of ESG. Some common practices include:

  • 1. Emissions management: Companies can set goals to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and implement measures to achieve these targets. This can involve transitioning to renewable energy sources, increasing energy efficiency, and implementing clean technologies.
  • 2. Conservation of natural resources: This includes responsible management of water resources, reducing water consumption, protecting sensitive ecosystems, and minimizing impact on natural habitats.
  • 3. Waste management: Companies can adopt practices of waste reduction, reuse, and recycling, as well as implement efficient waste management programs. This helps reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and minimizes negative environmental impacts.
  • 4. Transparency and reporting: Many companies are adopting the disclosure of environmental information, allowing investors and the general public to better understand the environmental impacts of their operations. Sustainability reporting, environmental audits, and disclosure of data related to environmental performance are common practices in this area.
  • 5. Climate risk management: Companies are increasingly considering the risks associated with climate change in their strategies and operations. This involves assessing and mitigating physical risks, such as floods and droughts, and transition risks, such as changes in government policies and regulations related to carbon emissions.
  • 6. Innovation and research: Many companies are investing in research and development of innovative environmental technologies and solutions. This includes the development of more sustainable products, improving energy efficiency, and using materials that are less harmful to the environment.

Social Action

The S in ESG (Social) refers to the practices and policies related to the social impact of a company. It focuses on the actions taken to address social issues, engage stakeholders, and contribute to the well-being of the community and society.

The social considerations of ESG encompass various topics, including:

  • 1. Employee Relations: This includes fair employment practices, equal opportunities, adequate compensation, benefits, occupational health and safety, professional development, diversity and inclusion in the workplace, as well as promoting a safe and respectful work environment.
  • 2. Human Rights: It involves respecting fundamental human rights in all company operations and throughout its supply chain. This includes avoiding child labor, forced labor, discrimination, and other human rights violations.

  • 5. Customer Relations: Involves providing quality products and services, transparency in business practices, protecting customer privacy, responsible customer service, and proper management of customer complaints and feedback.
  • 6. Social Impact: Relates to the overall impact of the company's operations on society, including actions to address relevant social issues such as poverty, inequality, education, access to healthcare, and well-being.

Governance Action

The G of ESG (Governance) refers to the leadership structure, policies, practices and processes that a company adopts to ensure responsible, ethical and effective management. It encompasses a number of elements related to corporate governance and the way in which the company is managed.

Corporate governance is the foundation for the governance part of ESG and encompasses the following areas:

This includes implementing internal control systems, managing financial, operational and compliance risks, and incorporating ESG risk considerations into business strategies.
