However, this approach can have negative consequences for both the environment and the economy in the long run.

We explore the different components of ESG goals, including environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and strong governance practices. We also discuss some of the challenges and criticisms of ESG, such as the lack of standardization and the potential for greenwashing.
