ESG (environmental, social and governance) is a general term used in capital markets and used by investors to evaluate corporate behavior and to determine the future financial performance of companies. — Financial Times
Environmental, Social And Governance is the new measure of success for corporations, non-profits and countries alike. Trillions of dollars are committed to ensuring the perpetuation of ESG Principles.

Fink also predicted that in the near future, all investors will be using ESG (environmental, social, governance) metrics to determine the value of a company.
