What is the difference between ESG and SR?

Socially Responsible investing strategies can involve assessing and scoring companies based on their ESG impact, however ESG investing is considered a little broader. ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance, and this strategy uses the below criteria to determine whether a company should be included in the fund 👇 

The E- Environmental

The environmental criteria measure a company’s impact on the environment, such as energy efficiency and emissions and waste.  

 The S- Social

The social criteria track various performance measures ranging from a company’s policies and record on human rights, right through to responsible employment practices.

The G- Governance

The governance criteria assess and measure how the company is run; from internal controls to leadership, as well as executive pay and shareholder rights.
