Millennials and Gen Z’ers are looking to take global warming and socioeconomic challenges head on by making ESG an essential factor in the way businesses, markets, and economies are run.

So, what is ESG?

These three letters stand for (E)nvironmental, (S)ocial, (G)overnance and they represent the non-financial factors that investors and market watchers consider when evaluating a business’ ethical and social practices.

To expand on this framework, and to breakdown why ESG is so important to the new age investor, is Colletta Simungu – an ESG consultant.

Colletta shines a light on the bigger picture as it relates to ESG and conscious living, the role these play in the wider corporate ecosystem on a global scale, and how investors can identify these three factors when putting a company under the microscope.

As sustainability and social change gain global momentum, we want to understand how ESG affects businesses and why corporations are marching to the beat of the next generation’s drums.
