Explains ESG for small business

It explains that environmental issues include emissions, waste, energy, and water use; social issues include fair pay, health and safety, and human rights; and governance covers policies, ethics, and risk management. The piece is aimed at small businesses and says these topics matter for everyday business decisions, not just for large companies.
