ESG stands for
Environmental,
Social, and
Governance. It is a framework used by investors to evaluate a company's performance and sustainability based on its environmental impact, social responsibility, and corporate governance practices. ESG factors help assess a company's overall ethical and responsible behavior, which can be important for making investment decisions and promoting long-term sustainability.

several inclusion metrics (e.g., gender, race/ethnicity, LGBTQ+, disability) for ESG. That reminded me of Overwatch diversty chart a LOT:
