Background

Overview

The Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting system had been created for companies and enterprises to take concrete steps towards a less exploitative, much more responsible, and more ethical operation from the point of view of the organization as a whole. Based on the environmental, social and governance pillars, the ESG framework provides a comprehensive, objective, measurable and transparent picture of how the actors of the corporate sector strive for a more sustainable and ethical operation.
