5 terms

environmental, social and corporate governance financial

"Based on a holistic view of Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG)..."

Environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) is a set of non-financial criteria used to evaluate how a company manages its impact on the environment, treats people and communities, and runs its leadership and controls. Investors use ESG like a checklist for long-term health — similar to inspecting a house for structural soundness, neighbor relations and rules for upkeep — because poor performance on these issues can signal higher future costs, legal risks or damage to reputation that affect returns.

esg financial

"We believe that strong ESG principles build trust with our customers..."

ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance, which are key factors investors consider when evaluating how sustainable and responsible a company is. It involves assessing how a company manages its impact on the environment, treats its employees and communities, and operates transparently and ethically. Investors use ESG criteria to identify businesses that align with their values and have the potential for long-term success.

corporate social responsibility financial

"each company's reputation for corporate social responsibility (CSR)..."

Corporate social responsibility is a company’s voluntary efforts to operate in ways that are good for society and the environment, such as reducing pollution, treating workers fairly, and supporting communities. Investors care because these choices can act like maintenance on a house—reducing legal, reputation and operational risks, attracting customers and employees, and sometimes improving long-term returns or share value compared with companies that ignore those responsibilities.

csr financial

"respondents providing feedback on overall CSR performance..."

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a company’s approach to managing its impact on society and the environment, covering actions like reducing pollution, treating workers fairly, and supporting communities. Investors watch CSR because it can affect a company’s reputation, legal risks, and long-term costs — similar to how a homeowner’s upkeep prevents costly repairs later — and strong CSR can signal better risk management and potential for sustainable returns.

renewable energy technical

"Contracting to source renewable energy for the company's Paderborn, Germany manufacturing site..."

Sources of power that come from naturally replenishing resources—such as sunlight, wind, flowing water, and geothermal heat—rather than fuels that can run out. Investors care because renewable energy can reduce long-term fuel costs, lower regulatory and climate risk, and create growing markets for technology and infrastructure; think of it like putting money into a well that refills itself rather than a one-time fuel tank, offering steadier long-term returns and different risk profiles.
