Crafting Pakistan's ESG Performance Blueprint: A Framework for Sustainable Growth

The most commonly accepted framework to measure sustainability for the firms is ESG performance. Environmental, Social and Governance perspective is primarily linked to socially responsible and morally ethical investment. In recent years ESG performance has become the key indicator of non-financial performance, risk management and management competence. Moreover, in contrast to the conception of corporate social responsibility, ESG performance covers a wide range of issues related to environment (for instance Global warming, energy crisis, greenhouse gas emissions), social obligations (for instance labour rights, human rights, employee health and safety, product safety) and governance (for instance shareholder rights, board management and structure, financial information).
