From the course: Introduction to ESG: Environmental, Social, and Governance

Welcome

- [Fulya] If you are watching this right now, you've probably been hearing a lot about these three letters, E, S, and G. What is E S G and why is it getting so much attention? E S G, or Environmental, Social and Governance considerations are becoming more mainstream in business performance discussions as a new and trendy topic.

For over two decades I have built and grown sustainability and ESG programs for multiple corporations. And most recently. for the real estate investment trust industry. In this course, I will introduce you to foundational ESG concepts, discuss why there is so much momentum around ESG commitments, reporting, and investing, and how you can specialize in this area and upscale your current role and more. With that, let's go ahead and get started with ESG basics.
