ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) refers to a set of criteria used to evaluate a company's operations and performance in terms of sustainability, ethical impact, and corporate governance. The 'Environmental' aspect assesses how a company manages its environmental responsibilities, such as reducing pollution and conserving resources. The 'Social' component examines how a company treats its employees, customers, and communities, focusing on diversity, human rights, and labor practices. The 'Governance' aspect evaluates a company's leadership, transparency, internal controls, and shareholder rights. In cybersecurity, ESG is increasingly important as companies are expected to protect data privacy, ensure ethical use of technology, and maintain robust governance structures.
