Key Concepts & Definitions

Public Perception as a driver for ESG
The general awareness and attitudes of the public towards sustainability issues influence the demand for ESG integration. Increased public concern can motivate companies and investors to prioritize ESG factors to maintain legitimacy and reputation.

Regulatory Framework influencing ESG demand
Legal and regulatory measures, such as increased disclosure requirements (e.g., EU SFDR), shape market behavior by mandating transparency on sustainability risks and impacts, thereby increasing demand for ESG-related information and practices.
