ESG indicators, Sustainability, Finance, Credit analysisAbstract
ESG indicators are metrics used by socially aware companies that aim to carry out sustainable practices. For the development, a qualitative bibliographical research was carried out. Thus, it can be observed that these organizations reduce environmental impacts, and at the same time, increase their financial results. It is worth noting that the principles of the ESG indicators relate to the environment, society and corporate governance. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the ESG Score (Environmental, Social and Governance) and its importance in credit analysis. The research is relevant for companies to understand the relevance of ESG in obtaining credit.
