Governance in ESG assesses the quality and effectiveness of a company's leadership, policies, and practices in ensuring ethical, responsible, and sustainable operations. Companies with strong governance practices are more likely to align with ESG principles and are often considered more attractive to investors and other stakeholders. 

Governance is one of the three key components of ESG, alongside Environmental and Social factors. Governance in ESG refers to the practices and policies related to the way a company is managed and overseen and encourages companies to adopt a long-term perspective and consider the impact of their decisions on sustainability, rather than focusing solely on short-term profits.

Effective governance includes assessing and managing risks, including financial, operational, and reputational risks. This is particularly important in the context of environmental and social risks. Effective governance starts with a well-structured and diverse board of directors, executive compensations, ethical business practices, risk management, transparency and disclosure. 

Governance also involves ensuring that the company complies with relevant laws and regulations and is accountable for its actions. This includes having appropriate whistleblower and reporting mechanisms in place.
