Lesson Overview
ESG without the confusion
ESG is a three-pillar framework: Environmental, Social and Governance. It is a simple structure, but it is often made more complicated than it needs to be.
This two-part lesson gives a clear reset on the basics and shows why material ESG issues need to be understood in context.
In this lesson, we explore:
- What ESG is and what it is not
- Why the framework depends on the decision maker using it
- The types of factors that sit under each pillar
- Why identifying material issues should be tailored, not templated
