ESG and Sustainability: A Guide to Responsible Investing
Description:
Welcome to our comprehensive course on ESG, where we explore how companies impact society beyond just their profits. In today's world, there is a growing recognition of the importance of a company's role in shaping the environment, people's lives, and ethical behavior. As a result, companies are now being held accountable for their actions through ESG, which covers environmental, social, and governance issues.
ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. It is a framework used to evaluate a company's sustainability and ethical impact. ESG factors are used to assess a company's environmental impact, such as their carbon emissions and waste management practices. The social impact of a company considers how it interacts with its employees, customers, and communities. This includes factors such as diversity and inclusion, labor practices, and community engagement. Finally, governance evaluates a company's management and decision-making processes, including its board of directors, executive pay, and shareholder rights. ESG analysis is used by investors, financial institutions, and other stakeholders to evaluate the long-term sustainability and ethical impact of a company, and to guide investment decisions.
Through this course, we'll take a close look at how companies like Apple, Walmart, and Ben & Jerry's are dealing with ESG issues. We'll explore their practices and initiatives and learn how they are making a positive impact on society.
