In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained, we explore how Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors have evolved from a corporate buzzword to a financial imperative. ESG now directly influences valuation, capital costs, risk exposure, and investor sentiment, making it a critical factor for finance professionals.

We’ll break down:

  • How ESG affects capital allocation and cost of capital
  • The role of ESG in valuation, risk management, and financial modeling
  • Case studies of companies leveraging ESG for a competitive advantage
  • The impact of ESG reporting and compliance on financial strategy

Finance professionals with 3-8 years of experience will gain actionable insights on how to integrate ESG into decision-making to drive better investment outcomes, lower risk, and secure investor confidence.
