If you've tried to make sense of ESG lately, you've probably run into two conflicting stories: one says it's collapsing under political backlash, the other says it's more entrenched than ever. Both are half right - and most books on the subject haven't caught up to what actually changed.
This isn't the same book that came out in 2022. The regulatory landscape has been rebuilt since then - the EU's CSRD was dramatically narrowed under its Omnibus simplification, the global ISSB standards became the new baseline, and the US pulled back its federal climate-disclosure rules. This edition was rewritten to reflect exactly where things stand today, not three years ago.
Inside, you'll learn:
What ESG actually means - and why these three pillars, and not others, became the standard
How ESG differs from CSR and socially responsible investing, and why the distinction matters
The current global regulatory picture: EU, US, and international standards, current as of 2026
- How ESG factors are actually measured, scored, and used in investment decisions
- How ESG performance creates measurable financial value - not just goodwill
- How ESG reporting standards (GRI, SASB, TCFD, ISSB) actually work in practice
- How ESG thinking scales beyond companies to national development
Written for: professionals, students, investors, and business leaders who want a clear, honest, up-to-date foundation in ESG - without wading through jargon or outdated statistics.
Written by economist and author Uwem Essia, whose work focuses on making complex governance, risk, and institutional systems clear and usable.
