A standardized assessment of a supplier's environmental, social, and governance practices used to evaluate risk and alignment with sustainability mandates.
ESG scoring is a standardized assessment framework that evaluates a supplier's or company's performance across Environmental, Social, and Governance criteria. Scores are used to measure risk exposure, sustainability maturity, and alignment with regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations.
Environmental criteria cover emissions, waste, and resource use; social criteria address labor practices, health and safety, and community impact; governance covers ethics, transparency, and board oversight. ESG scoring is increasingly factored into sourcing decisions. On FindMyFactory, ESG data helps buyers select manufacturers that meet their sustainability standards.
