ESG is one of the fastest-growing research areas in (South) Africa and globally. The discipline emerges out of the desire to comprehensively integrate three thematic areas: environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and good and ethical governance. To this end, many shareholders are demanding that companies and other entities have strong ESG policies in place and implement them accordingly. Some of the projects addressing ESG matters focus on developing a continental database to track and analyse ESG performance, providing a practical support mechanism for emerging enterprises, and establishing a multi-stakeholder platform for research-informed policy exchange.
