International ESG Day: Celebrating a Sustainable Future is on the 30th November 2024. ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. It is a system that helps organisations assess how they affect the world and how dedicated they are to operating in a sustainable way.
As climate change, economic differences and government problems become major issues, today it is important for everyone – businesses, governments and individuals – to focus on environmental social and governance (ESG) practices.
