Abstract: The governance practices and social and environmental performance of enterprises have become increasingly important for investors, policymakers, and the public. This study stresses the importance of governance and social and environmental practices for the sustainability of businesses because there is a potential for growing returns of these enterprises implementing the ESG (environment, social and governance) concept. The ESG concept may affect business risk, uncertainty, business costs, or revenues, and the company's capital cost. The ESG funds have been getting stronger globally, and companies aim to obtain their capital to accomplish their plans. Enterprises must respond proactively to the growth in corporate sustainability requirements, demands, and obligations. Placing sustainability as the main priority of businesses, the paper focuses on emerging markets from the perspective of ESG reporting and its significance for global corporations. The main objective is to investigate the legislation and requirements of the ESG funds as investors endeavor to successfully gain these funds. In addition, the issue of measuring the ESG index of individual companies is explored because investors will benefit from the information reported.
