ESG criteria: definition and objective

ESG criteria are an integral part of the financial performance of public sector actors.

Indeed, financial specialists now take into account environmental, social and governance criteria to gauge the growth potential of organizations. These are known as extra-financial indicators, since ESG criteria are added to financial criteria to justify a viable economic model.

By definition, ESG criteria are closely linked to the socially responsible strategy (CSR) and sustainable development of economic actors (companies, local authorities).

They are also at the heart of the labeling of Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) funds, since it also adopts a responsible approach to financial investments.

The different criteria

Environmental criteria

Environmental criteria

What environmental criteria are we talking about?

Le critère environnemental prend en compte la politique adoptée par l’organisation pour :

  • réduire son empreinte environnementale (réduction des émissions de CO2 et de gaz à effet de serre)
  • gérer les déchets 
  • diminuer ses consommations en eau et en énergie (électricité, gaz)
Social criteria

Social criteria

What are the social criteria?

Le critère social va intervenir sur :

  • la formation et la sensibilisation du personnel
  • la prévention des risques psychosociaux et des accidents
  • l’emploi de personnes en situation de handicap
  • le respect du droit des salariés
Governance criteria

Governance criteria

À quoi correspondent les critères de gouvernance ?

Le critère de gouvernance intervient quant à lui sur des sujets comme :

  • la parité homme-femme au sein d’une direction
  • la mise en place d’un conseil d’administration indépendant
  • la transparence sur la rémunération des dirigeants
  • la lutte contre la corruption

What are the challenges of an ESG strategy in the public sector?

In fact, integrating ESG criteria not only makes it possible to comply with environmental laws, but also :

Provide more transparency through reporting that justifies the non-financial performance of assets.
To promote the environmental commitments of the communities to the various stakeholders.
Good to know
Like many economic actors, public authorities have every interest in integrating an ESG strategy into their CSR and sustainable development approach, but also into their investment strategy. The public sector is governed by complex environmental regulations and must deal with increasingly demanding stakeholders (operations management, finance management, facility managers, investors, auditors, etc.).

Other issues

The issue is also financial, since ESG analysis meets :

  • achieving environmental objectives by reducing energy costs
  • replacing fossil fuels with renewable energies

In order to conduct an efficient CSR policy, the use of ESG data becomes essential.

A major issue

To do this, local authorities face a major challenge:

  • the collection and analysis of ESG data

which, without an adapted tool such as the N’Gage platform, can be time-consuming and complex.

How to simplify ESG data collection?

There are solutions for automated ESG data collection, but they need to be combined with analysis systems in order to be truly exploited.

ESG data collection can be automated with an energy management system like N’Gage.

The platform connects to :

  • asset data
  • network operators’ databases (Enedis, GRDF)
  • remote reading automatons
  • BMS automatons
  • sub-metering devices (IoT sensors)
  • ERP software for local authorities
