ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance)

What is ESG?

ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance, three categories used to assess how a company manages risks and responsibilities beyond its financial statements. Environmental covers things like emissions, energy use, and waste. Social covers labour practices, diversity, and community impact. Governance covers board structure, executive pay, transparency, and how decisions get made and audited.

ESG grew up in the investment world as a set of criteria for evaluating companies, which is the main thing that separates it from CSR. Corporate social responsibility is what a company chooses to do; ESG is how outsiders, often investors and regulators, measure and rate it. That measurement angle is why ESG has become a reporting discipline. Frameworks like GRI and the emerging CSRD rules in Europe define what gets disclosed and how. A fund screening out companies with poor governance scores, or a regulator requiring audited emissions data, is ESG doing its actual job. The flip side is that vague or unverified ESG claims have drawn growing accusations of greenwashing.

Good ESG reporting lives or dies on data. You cannot disclose what you do not track, and you cannot defend a number you cannot trace back to a source.

ESG at Dallonses

As a certified B Corp, Dallonses goes through assessment on the same kinds of factors ESG frameworks measure, so we know what credible reporting demands from the inside. It demands data you can stand behind, not a polished narrative.

That is where the technical work comes in. ESG reporting is, underneath, a data problem, and through our business intelligence and reporting work we help teams pull environmental and social metrics out of scattered systems and into dashboards they can actually defend to an auditor. Our sustainable tech consulting then tackles the environmental line directly, measuring the footprint of the infrastructure a company runs. Numbers first, claims second.

Need ESG metrics you can trace and defend? Let's build the reporting behind them.
