Nowadays, the significant global changes caused by climate change, the health crisis, the rise of technology and the turbulence between populations, have called for companies the need to transform themselves and participate in improving the conditions of society through their daily activities. Firms, being part of the social and economic fabric, are combining social benefits along with business profit, by adopting new forms of governance based on their Environment, Society and Ethics.The criteria, Environment, Society and Governance or internationally referred to as, ESG, are important elements of financial stability and sustainability. ESG criteria, are important information that is taken into account in investment decisions, actions and lending decisions, as well as insurance in the medium and long time period.This paper, examines questions that ESG criteria are called upon to answer, such as which are the factors who structure the Environment, Society and Governance criteria, as well as the ways in which a firm or an entity responsible for managing investment funds can adopt them. Last but not least, the main study of this master thesis is the financial analysis and a performance study of ESG criteria of firms listed in the Athens Stock Exchange, providing important conclusions that will serve as a complement to the existing literature on the study of ESG criteria.
