Climate Change is exhibiting crippling effects across the globe. 2020 has had the most hurricanes, western wildfires, warmest ocean temperatures, and polar ice melts compared to most years.

By investigating a company’s Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG), the three central factors in measuring the sustainability and social impact of an investment in a business, we can see how a company will improve its economy and bottom line while reducing its impact on the environment by measuring the changes over time of its carbon footprint.
