About the Book
This book serves as a comprehensive guide and resource on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) data, aimed at demystifying the complex variables that makeup ESG reporting and performance metrics. With a special emphasis on practicality, the book is designed to be more than just theoretical; it's a hands-on manual packed with concrete examples, equations, and Python code snippets to help readers retrieve and analyze governance data.
The material is organized into focused sections that first introduce foundational aspects of ESG data, its classifications, and its vital importance in modern business. Subsequent sections dive deep into each of the three pillars—Environmental, Social, and Governance—providing actionable insights and detailed explanations of complex data points, such as emissions scopes and other key performance indicators. Alongside this, the book explains the sources of authoritative data and how these metrics are updated and maintained.
The book's unique approach combines a global perspective with localized case studies, particularly focusing on India and Bangladesh, making it an invaluable resource for a wide range of professionals and jurisdictions. Whether you are a business leader aiming to upgrade your company's sustainability efforts, a policy maker looking to inform decisions with accurate data, or an investor wanting to perform due diligence, this book offers a holistic, one-stop-shop for understanding and implementing ESG data effectively.
By the time you turn the last page, you'll not only have a broad understanding of what ESG data is but also have the practical tools and knowledge to apply it in meaningful ways.
