ESG Compliance
Last Saturday, the NZZ wrote that “Three letters spell out one of the most popular trends in the world of finance: ESG” [1]. ESG stands for environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria, with respect to pollution, human rights and transparent corporate management. Swiss politicians also deal with these three criteria, namely in connection with the corporate responsibility initiative [2]. The newly developed ESG RISK MONITOR detects relevant risks in multinational corporations, as well as for their partners and suppliers [3].
