Thematic Research- ESG – Governance Factors
By GlobalData
Governance is central to GlobalData’s ESG framework, developed to help companies understand and address their responsibilities across three main areas: environmental, social, and governance (ESG).
Organizing the topic into these three key areas makes it easier for companies to assess where they stand. The framework goes deeper and defines four key areas within each topic. Within corporate governance, these are corporate structure, risk management, corruption, and bribery and ethics. Then, within each area, the framework identifies several contributing factors and mitigating actions to help companies identify where progress is needed and create action plans.
Good corporate governance has never been more important. It has come to the fore as directors and executives recognize that they are responsible not just to shareholders, as in the past, but to a wide range of stakeholders.
