Environment, Society, and Governance (ESG) are comprehensive business practice framework that requires companies to consider the environmental, social, and corporate governance structure while pursuing economic benefits. This concept has become an indispensable part of modern enterprise management and is of great significance for shaping the long-term value of the enterprise. In the field of corporate governance, ESG advocates for an efficient, transparent, and responsible management system to guide enterprise operations. Effective regulatory mechanisms, such as independent board members, improved audit procedures, and risk management strategies, are all necessary to ensure that stakeholders' rights and interests are respected and protected.

ESG is an enterprise that profoundly changes business philosophy and behavior. It aims to seek a balance between economic value and social value, help enterprises better obtain and consolidate competitive advantages, promote enterprises to return to their heart and conscience, and achieve a higher level of management and profit creation. This paper analyzes the influence on the concept of corporate value and social value from three aspects of environmental protection, social responsibility fulfillment, and corporate governance, and puts forward ideas and suggestions based on the concept of sustainable development.
