ESG regulations are government standards for ESG-related actions, reporting, or disclosures. ESG stands for environmental, social, and governance, and it is a framework for evaluating the sustainability and ethical impact of a company or investment.
Research from data management firm ESG Book shows that ESG regulation has increased by 155% over the past decade, reflecting the rapid growth of sustainability-based policy interventions. This sharp rise is only expected to continue, as markets look for more effective and transparent ways to drive capital to sustainable businesses and outcomes.
