Introduction To Basic ESG Concepts And Sustainability Focused Governance (Video)

The Istanbul-based Hergüner Bilgen Üçer law firm has produced the first of a planned series of videos on ESG, and in particular its importance on how Turkish businesses will operate generally, and how they will have to adapt to certain European Union legislative requirements such as the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. In this first video in the series, that is in Turkish but has English language subtitles, senior partner Ümit Hergüner, and partners Zeynep Tor and Deniz Tuncel, explore the main components of ESG. Mr. Hergüner, who has extensive experience in ESG and has been a leading proponent of its adoption in Turkey since its inception, explains how ESG emerged from the principles of good corporate governance. ESG is in some ways an expansion of corporate governance to give it a wider focus.
