+ What is ESG?
ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance. Through these three lenses, we can evaluate how organisations are seeking to make a difference – from tackling the climate crisis to promoting a fair society for all. ESG is becoming more and more ingrained in common consciousness. Consumers are increasingly demanding that the organisations they support and associate themselves with are actively striving to protect the planet and support a fairer society for all.

+ Who is ESGmark®?
ESGmark® was founded by two long-standing colleagues, working together in the investment industry in London, UK. They noticed that ESG-focused investing is growing as a hugely important theme, with investors increasingly demanding that the companies they invest in meet their own Environmental, Social and Governance criteria. The founders realised that organisations of all sizes want to play a role in addressing the climate crisis and securing a fairer society for all. Thus, ESGmark® was created to help organisations and consumers deliver positive change.
