About ESG.ORG

What is ESG?

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.

Why do I care about ESG?

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink proclaimed in his annual letter in January that, "To prosper over time, every company must not only deliver financial performance, but also show how it makes a positive contribution to society."

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.

Come Join us on an important journey!

Our primary goal is to utilize Governance to help ESG practitioners define a future that is achievable and measurable.

Board Members, Corporate Executives, ESG Professionals, Government, Associations, Nonprofits and Global Citizens all benefit from ESG.
