SUSTAINABILITY & ESG

The acronym ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance and refers to a set of evaluation criteria increasingly used in the financial sector to assess the sustainability of investments. ESG metrics enable a more comprehensive evaluation of a company, going beyond purely financial performance to include long-term risk management, responsibility, and value creation.

Today, investment decisions increasingly consider how companies perform against ESG criteria, recognizing that sustainability, ethical conduct, and sound governance are integral to resilient and forward-looking business models.

As the impact of human activity on the planet becomes more evident, environmental responsibility has rightly become a central global concern. At the same time, a company’s social commitment and governance practices reflect its ability to integrate economic performance with ethical values, embedding responsibility into the very DNA of its corporate strategy. In this context, Hippocrates Research firmly rejects superficial or misleading approaches to sustainability and is committed to transparency, substance, and measurable impact.

Since 2006, Hippocrates Research has been among the first companies worldwide to join the United Nations Global Compact, embracing its principles and values as a long-term strategic commitment.
