ESG stands for Environmental Social and Governance and refers to the three key factors when measuring the sustainability and ethical impact of an investment in a business or company. This term is commonly used by investors to evaluate the behavior of companies, as well as determining their future financial performance. ESG standards are gradually becoming a significant part of the alternative investment world. As a result, investors are becoming increasingly interested in the ESG framework, and many have begun using these as the criteria for assessing risk in the investment decision-making process.

Managed by Crossflow, vender rollouts are usually completed within 30 days. As a result of Crossflow’s extensive legal framework, the service is deployable globally.
