What is an ESG Score?
Last updated: 12 August 2026
An ESG score is a combined view of how companies and sectors incorporate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into their business operations, helping investors understand how conscious a company is about responsible practices.
According to recent studies, this score is important to investors like you as companies with more ESG-friendly practices tend to deliver more robust financial results over time, due to higher resilience and ability to mitigate risks.
