Axis ESG Equity Fund - What is ESG Mutual Fund, Features, Benefits and Performance
What is ESG?
ESG measures the sustainability of the company.
Here’s how companies make money rather than just how much they make
The 3 pillars of ESG
Each pillar captures a number of issues:
| Environmental | Climate Change Natural Resource Use Waste Management Environmental Opportunities | Carbon emissions, Product carbon footprint, Energy Efficiency Water stress, Biodiversity & Land use, Raw material sourcing, Financing Environmental Impact Toxic Emissions & Waste, Packaging material and waste, Electronic waste Opportunities in clean tech, green building, renewable energy |
| Social | Human capital Product Safety Social Opportunities | Labor management, Health & Safety, Supply chain, Controversial sourcing Chemical safety, Financial Product Safety, Privacy & Data security, Insuring health Nutrition & Health, Access to communication, health & finance |
| Governance | Corporate Governance Business Ethics Government & Public Policy | Practice & policies, disclosures Corruption & instability, Ethics and Fraud, Anti-competitive practices Financial System instability |
Why ESG? Businesses are getting increasingly impacted by non-financial factors
- Climate change
- Sustainable farming/mining
- Privacy and data security
- Greater regulatory scrutiny
- Lifestyle changes
All stakeholders (investors, customers, regulators) are getting more sensitive to these issues.
Weak ESG practices increase business risks
