Esg in the energy industry – embracing change

The energy industry is taking yet another turn.

The COVID-19 pandemic and expectations on new energy policies have accelerated the focus on environmental responsibility and broader ESG measures. This has drawn industry-wide pressure from investors to allocate capital exclusively to companies prioritizing ESG.

Scroll down to learn more about what this means for the energy industry moving forward and why there’s an urgency to better understand ESG metrics, and the impact they have on energy companies.

So, what exactly are ESG metrics?

ESG stands for environmental, social and governance.
These metrics are a set of standards for a company’s operations that socially conscious investors use to screen potential investments.

Environmental

Environmental criteria examine how a company performs as a steward of nature.

Social

Social criteria examine how a company manages relationships with employees, suppliers, customers and the communities where it operates.

Governance

Governance criteria examine a company’s leadership, executive pay, audits, internal controls and shareholder rights.

These three factors are used to measure the societal impact of a company and can be calculated to help better determine the future financial performance of said company. There has been a strong correlation with low GHG emissions and high ESG scores which, in turn, correspond to higher company profitability.

Increase your "E" score

For energy companies looking to position themselves favorably to investors, the ENVIRONMENTAL metric is possibly the most critical. The following factors all play an important role in managing their impact and ensuring they remain investable and competitive in the market:

Reducing Greenhouse Gases: Gas molecules found in the atmosphere that absorb and emit thermal energy
Mitigating the Greenhouse Gas Effect: The trapping of energy from the sun due to increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, resulting in global warming.
Controlling Flaring: Different operational practices, such as choosing to flare or not, vary emission levels.
Navigating new Regulations: Low regulations seen in North America around greenhouse gas emissions will be a thing of the past, and tighter restrictions will come into place.

Correct! This statement is true.

In fact, there has been a strong correlation between low GHG emissions and high ESG scores which, in turn, corresponds to higher company profitability.

← Back to the question

ESG metrics, including GHG emissions and flaring, are incredibly hard to structure and organize because they come from multiple public sites, where companies submit disparate and disorganized information.

As things are now, the information needed to understand a company’s CO2 footprint and how it stacks up against its peers is generalized by non-energy focused research shops and siloed from other key operational metrics. Until now.
