Sustainability includes social and environmental risks. ESG includes environmental, social AND governance. Hence, ESG is broader than Sustainability.

Selected Answer: D
Sustainability is a broad category; ESG, or measuring the environmental, social, and governance performance of firms, often by financial counterparties, sits within sus-tainability. (p.30)

Governance is not part of sustainability. The Turnbull report and Cadbury report precede Sustainability in corporations.

Selected Answer: C
I'd choose C. Why not D? 1. (2.1) "Investors and financial institutions, for their part, practice sustainability through the ESG policies.." 2. (2.2) "Sustainability...encompasses social and environmental awareness, and it seeks to ensure that economic activity does not harm either society or the broader environment." My comment: it refers to social and environmental instead of social and governance.

As far as I understand it Sustainability is the broadest of all these categories. It is not right to say ESG risks are broader than all sustainability risks. ESG is used mostly by the finance world, so I really don't think of it as that broad.
