Hi, I'm Dr. Maya Finger
from the College of
Management Academic Studies.
My work focuses on ESG and
promoting global knowledge and
development in this field.
Today's talk is about
the "ESGness" of Bitcoin.

Environment, social and corporate
governance, or in short,
ESG in crypto assets,
have both been gaining
popularity independently.
ESG has a holistic view on
how environmental, social,
and governance elements
are reflected in
organizations and technologies.
And cryptocurrency,
especially Bitcoin, have
been discussed quite often.
In this talk, we will explore
the "ESGness" of Bitcoin.
Indeed ESG and Bitcoin are
two major buzzwords commonly
discussed today in
various fields.
But first, let's understand
what each of these terms mean.

The term ESG is commonly used,
but not always in
its proper meaning.
First ESG is an acronym
for environment,
social, and corporate
governance.
When we say ESG,
we mean policies or
criteria that considered
environmental,
social, and corporate governance
elements in a
specified activity.
The E refers to
the environmental implications
of a certain activity,
such as pollution or
responsible energy consumption.
The S refers to the impact
a certain activity has on
individuals in society,
such as reducing inequalities
or promoting inclusion
and diversity.
The G refers to
various regulatory
matters the company
or the activity faces.
