During the last two decades, awareness has increased amongst companies and market actors that corporate exposure to certain risk factors, such as environmental risks, social practices (including compliance with human rights) and governance issues, can materially affect corporate brand and value and influence investment decisions.
As a result, investors are increasingly demanding public companies to disclose information on ESG-related issues to help them understand and contextualize the nature of those risks to the company’s operations and companies have become more responsive to investors’ demands in that respect.
