The investors were only dependent and replied on the financial results. They were on the belief that only thing matters or is important for making any investment in the company is their “ financials”. However- beyond the number analysis , there exists a very vast ocean of parameter that an investor needs to analyse before taking any decision related to investment. This parameter is a non – numerical or non- financial parameter that also affects the value of an investment .Each and every company around the globe have to integrate themselves with the environment (E) in which they operate / function. Along with it they are functioning in the society hence they have to value its stakeholders and deliver something in return to the society (S). There are strict rules and regulations that a company need to comply in-order to operate in the country. These rules are a part of Governance , so the company needs to comply with this governance (G). Hence after integration we can say that a company needs to comply with its ESG factors in-order to perform their business operations.
