Today, ESG goals are crucial for companies seeking long-term success and making a positive impact on society.
In this article, we will learn why they are so important and how companies can achieve them by involving their employees.
What are ESG Goals?
ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance. It refers to a set of criteria used to assess a company’s performance and impact in these three areas. The environmental aspect concerns the company’s ecological footprint, including the carbon emissions and waste it generates. Social objectives include employee welfare, diversity and commitment to the community. Governance involves maintaining ethical operations, transparency and accountability. These goals go beyond traditional profit metrics and reflect the company’s commitment to having a positive impact on the world.
