Abstract

Globally, the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) movement is gaining significant attention. The existing frameworks need to be more standardized and applicable to socio-economic dynamics. A three-phased approach was developed comprised of a comprehensive review and a research survey involving 62 experts. The results showed that the environmental component is ≈5–14 % more important than the social and governance components. The design, operational life, and material sourcing are relatively more important (i.e., ≈14–20 %) than the project type. Risks related to water and air pollution are ≈34–38 % more important than solid wastes. This research offers insights into ESG criteria and metrics.

负责任的融资和投资:环境、社会和治理 (ESG) 指标的确定、制定和评估
在全球范围内,环境、社会和治理(ESG)运动正获得极大关注。现有框架需要更加标准化,并适用于社会经济动态。我们制定了一种三阶段方法,包括全面审查和 62 位专家参与的研究调查。结果表明,环境因素比社会和治理因素重要≈5-14%。与项目类型相比,设计、运行寿命和材料来源相对更重要(即≈14-20%)。与固体废物相比,与水和空气污染相关的风险≈34-38%。这项研究提供了对环境、社会和治理标准和指标的见解。
