Right now, the terms ESG and Corporate Social Responsibility are on everyone's lips. But what do they actually mean, and why are they key to the Adler Group's corporate philosophy?

In recent years, one abbreviation has become increasingly important for companies and investors: ESG. The abbreviation stands for "Environmental, Social and Governance" and refers to the standards and criteria by which the sustainability of a company and its positive impact on society are measured. Lately, these standards have become increasingly important. ESG reports, in which companies provide the public with information about their activities in the areas of environment, social affairs and corporate governance, have become just as integral a part of the financial year as the annual report itself. The Adler Group published its first ESG report in May 2021.
