ESG is a framework for evaluating organizations on environmental, social, and governance criteria.
Definition
ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) is a framework used by investors and stakeholders to evaluate an organization's sustainability and ethical impact. Environmental: carbon footprint, energy efficiency, waste. Social: labor practices, diversity, community impact. Governance: board structure, executive compensation, ethics. For datacenters and AI companies, ESG is increasingly important — investors demand carbon disclosure, diversity metrics, and ethical AI practices.
