❑ What is an ESG ? EHS ESG

➢ ESG stands for “Environmental, Social and Governance.” ESG can be described as a set
of practices (policies, procedures, metrics, etc.) that organizations implement to limit negative
impact or enhance positive impact on the environment, society, and governance bodies.
➢ It encompasses opportunity, risk factor derived from externalities that impact company’s
sustainability.
➢ ESG takes the holistic view and leaves a better world for future generation.

The key difference between ESG and sustainability is that ESG is a specific tool used to measure the
performance of a company, while sustainability is a broad principle that encompasses a range of
responsible business practices.

Green House Gases

What are GHG emissions?

Greenhouse gases, such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone, absorb and emit
thermal infrared energy, creating the greenhouse effect that raises the average temperature of the Earth's
surface. Without these gases, the average temperature would be about -18° C (0°F) instead of the current 15° C
(59°F)

“The same amount of carbon dioxide is emitted (CO2) into the atmosphere as it is
removed / avoid by different means of Carbon Disclosure Project, to achieving a zero

❑ Net Zero Emission EHS ESG

Global net zero emissions:

where emissions of greenhouse gases due to human activities, and removals of these gases, are in balance

over a given period. It is often called simply net zero. In some cases, emissions refers to emissions of all

greenhouse gases, and in others it refers only to emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2). To reach net zero targets

requires actions to reduce emissions.
