    Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria are non-financial factors that socially conscious investors use to screen potential investments. ESG focuses on a company's impact on climate change through environmental criteria, its management of stakeholder relationships through social criteria, and its business ethics and compliance through governance criteria. There is increasing interest from new generation investors in companies' contributions to society and ESG will likely replace corporate social responsibility as ESG is more integrated into company strategy. However, questions remain about ESG's impact on common citizens, whether small businesses can realistically adopt ESG norms, and how to ensure ESG is not just performative.
