Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) is becoming more and more important in our world today, and underlying data is vital in giving it meaning. Acting as a source of checks and balances, ESG needs a long-term view that promises the existence and sustainability of fundamental organizations over time; partnerships and stakeholder engagement are also required. Nevertheless, ESG is complex and not easily measured. Written for companies seeking to attract ESG investments and become compliant with ESG regulatory requirements, this text discusses the "what" and "why" of the matter, diving into understanding ESG, how disregarding ESG means risk, inconsistent metrics and lack of clarity, and what companies can do to be ESG-investable and ESG-compliant. This book also looks at how emerging technologies can help organize underlying ESG data and add transparency to provide accountability and a holistic view of ESG''s impact. Chapter 1 discusses early notions of social responsibility. Thanks to the first and second industrial revolutions, companies became essential pillars of society, and modern philanthropy emerged in response to issues such as working conditions in factories, which then led to the idea of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Certain major events advanced CSR even further, including the Exxon Valdez oil spill and climate change. The UN Global Compact is based on CEO commitments to implement sustainability practices, focusing on human rights, labor, environmental, and anti-corruption practices. Because social responsibility is qualitative, standardizing processes to maximize benefits and measure results is challenging. Various methods have been introduced to set standards in areas such as environmental sustainability and labor, and a few organizations have developed holistic ESG standards. These standards are used by global corporations today to provide transparency for investors, who are increasingly demanding ESG conscious investment opportunities.
