Description
Over the past decade, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting has become increasingly prominent in corporate America over the last decade, specifically in the built environment industry. This study aims to analyze the financial impact of ESG adoption by comparing U.S. companies with global organizations. . A combination of trend analysis from publicly posted ESG reports (policies, targets, year over year progress) alongside statistical comparison on financial performance indicators such as revenue and profitability, this research assesses the long-term economic effects of ESG integration. The anticipated results will reflect that an increase in transparency with the public will boost company success noticeably overtime. Potential implications may include market volatility, investor behavior and sector-specific risks may also influence outcome. This study will contribute to ongoing discussion on ESG’s role in corporate financial resilience, addressing potential challenges such as greenwashing, regional disparities, and the evolving regulatory landscape.
