Environmental, social, and governance metrics are essential for businesses to understand societal impact and their bottom line. ESG is a business practice that attracts investors, increases profit margins, and creates a sustainable economy.
Most companies only focus on their bottom line, when they should really be focusing on their impact on their social and environmental impact or triple bottom line.
Most people imagine pollution as visible emissions like smog, but invisible emissions that come from electricity, cloud storage, and internet traffic are equally as dangerous.
Through data centers, device charging, and other electricity consumption, electronic equipment and the internet are creating a massive carbon footprint that is expected to double within the next four years.
