For many SMEs, ESG can be a complex and challenging task to navigate. There are many concepts to keep track of, and in smaller companies there are rarely resources for employees who work exclusively with ESG reporting and sustainability strategies.

That’s why we have created this glossary, which brings together the most central terms within ESG and provides a brief explanation of their meaning, as well as references to where you can read more. As the ESG area is continuously evolving, the list will be updated in line with new requirements and trends.

Whether you are new to ESG or simply want to update your knowledge, this glossary can help you create an overview and make it more manageable to work with ESG in your company.

Happy reading!

Please reach out if you have any questions regarding the project.
