How to Illustrate ESG Methods with Infographics

Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) is an effective decision-making tool for investors. Investors consider ESG criteria along with traditional financial analysis to better assess risk when making investment decisions. The ESG analysis activity of business related to environmental protection, social issues, and corporate governance. These three ESG criteria help to evaluate the attractiveness and risks of the business for investors.

This example of infographics was created using the combination of libraries from the ESG solution for ConceptDraw DIAGRAM. It illustrates a Triple Bottom Line (TBL).

TBL is an accounting system used by the ESG method to evaluate the performance of the organization and the value of the business. It expands the traditional financial reporting structure to include three parts: social, environmental, and economic. Using TBL helps companies analyze their operations and maximize profits without compromising the environment.

The Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance solution extends ConceptDraw DIAGRAM with 6 libraries containing 137 vector graphics icons and 14 samples containing images, symbols, and pictograms for designing professionally looking diagrams related to the ESG approach, its processes, goals, and ways for their achievement.

1. Run ConceptDraw DIAGRAM.
2. Reveal the Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance item in the Solutions panel.

3. In our example, we additionally use some circle shapes from the Business Diagrams solution libraries.
4. Click the library preview to activate it in the Library panel. As necessary, we will add objects to the document page.
5. Place the first circle object into your drawing. Resize it to the desired one and add 2 more circles using the Clone tool.

6. Next, use the Border option on the Format panel to color the objects' outlines.
7. To make the object's fill transparent, drag the Opacity slider to the value you want. A value of 100% makes the object opaque; a value of 0% makes the object fully transparent. This is what exactly is needed in our case.

8. Add the objects from the Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance solution libraries.

9. Let's add the appropriate text to the objects and format it using the options provided in the Text panel.


Result: This sample diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the combination of libraries from the Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance Solution. Approximately 10 minutes of your time will require the creation of such professional-looking graphics.
