Environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategies: why do companies focus on diversity?
Until not long ago, ESG mainly focused on corporate social responsibility, such as community development and volunteering. The concept of ESG has, however, took on a new, more diversified meaning in recent years. It now refers to a company’s approach to climate, customers, employees, and governance. As there is an increasing global focus on ESG issues, banks and corporations include more and more diversity data in their annual reports. The spotlight on ESG issues is also one of the reasons why ESG principles and practices have become a critical component of investment decision making. Thus, high ESG standards are now a matter of reputation for banks and asset managers, and they can also lead to improved long-term returns.
