Index of Contents: Environmental, social, and corporate governance

The term environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) refers to an investment or corporate governance approach that involves considering the extent to which corporations conform to certain standards related to environmental, social, and corporate governance issues (such as net carbon emission or corporate board diversity goals) and making business and investment decisions that promote those standards.

Ballotpedia offers many ways to learn more about environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG). In addition to the index of articles below, we offer Economy and Society, a free weekly email newsletter that delivers news and information about the developments in corporate activism; corporate political engagement; and the ESG trends and events that characterize the growing intersection between business and politics.
