ESG
Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) is a complex set of standards for company behavior, business strategies, and sustainability. ESG is much broader than just maximizing company profits. It includes non-financial performance indicators that cover issues in three categories: environment, social aspects, and governance. In addition, ESG is a stakeholder-centric approach for businesses. It takes into account the interests of all stakeholders: employees, investors, society, and the environment.
ESG helps to reduce risks and increase profitability, that is, the ratio of income from an investment to its starting cost. This helps stakeholders to understand how the organization manages the risks and opportunities associated with sustainability. ESG analysis encourages continuous improvement, and in general, ESG-focused companies are more resilient and less risky. Today, the focus is on such organizations and investments in them are growing.
ESG is a progressive modern method currently used by most investment funds. Because investors seek to fund the companies that are responsible for the environment, society, and internal governance. ESG criteria are a kind of guarantee that a company is socially responsible, uses transparent accounting methods, and is accountable to shareholders. Unsustainable companies with outdated practices and which activities have harmful effects on the environment or society aren't currently interesting to investors.
Adherence to ESG principles ensures companies higher profits, competitiveness in the market, high dividend payments and returns, and decrease risks. ESG includes ways to maximize stakeholder well-being, makes transparent the company policy, and helps evaluate how a company manages the risks. The choice of sustainable responsible companies working according to ESG ensures the minimization of risks for investors, helps them anticipate critical situations and avoid suspicious investments.
ESG includes three groups of criteria:
Environmental criteria are related to protecting the environment from pollution of water, air, soil, and resulting climate change. They consider how the company limits emissions of chemicals, greenhouse gases, and other harmful pollutants. The use of renewable energy is encouraged along with waste management, resource depletion control, deforestation, and saving biodiversity.
Social criteria consider the social relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, and the communities in which the company operates. They take into account respect for human rights and health, how the company manages relationships among employees and prevents conflicts, which are its workplace and safety policies, working conditions, and wages.
Governance criteria are focused on the company's government and decision-making. They take into account transparency of financial reporting, tax strategy, audit, anti-bribery and anti-corruption policies, and relationships with all shareholders, investors, and customers.

Any information system receives data flows from external sources. In order to visualize them there is a list of data flow diagram symbols that describes how the system components cooperate. If you want to create a data flow diagram, ConceptDraw DIAGRAM Solution Park has DFD Library that contains both Yourdon and Gane-Sarson notations.
This figure shows the content of vector libraries, delivered with ConceptDraw solution for data flow diagram (DFD). There are three libraries composed from about 50 vector objects used to make data flow diagrams.
They include a complete set of objects utilized by Yourdon-Coad and Gane-Sarson notations - two primary notations that are apply for data flow diagramming. Also, one can discover additional "Data flow diagram (DFD)" library that provides a data flow diagram elements for designing level 1 and context-level data flow diagrams.

There are many ways to define the flow of information within a system. Structured-systems analysis method often uses data flow diagrams to show data flow, data storages and data processing visualization. These diagrams are easy to develop and quite useful.
Here is a dataflow diagram presenting an example of the manufacturing process flow. The oval process shapes represent a process that controls data within the current system. The process may produce data or make some action based on data. Data flows are represented by lines. They show the movement of information through the system. The direction of the data flow is depicted by the arrow. The external entities are shown by rectangles. They represent the external entities interacting with the system. The data store objects (unclosed rectangles) are used to show data bases participating in a process flow.

When we think about programming, we usually imagine sleepless nights spent on writing kilobytes of code. However, from another point of view, Software development with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM makes a programmer's life endlessly easier. This tool is unique to fulfill all your needs in short period of time.
Over the recent years object-oriented methodology has become more and more widespread. Thanks to this methodology developers manage to deal with growing complexity of applications. More and more programs are written in such programming languages as C++, Java, Visual Basic and Object Pascal. However, the complexity of the designed systems imposes extended requirements as to design of graphic documentation. ConceptDraw possesses powerful tools for designing of technical documentation for object-oriented projects. The libraries included in the package allow to easily draw class hierarchies, object hierarchies and diagrams of data flows with the use of the most popular notations, including UML and Booch notations. And the library for projecting COM-interfaces will spare developers of ActiveX-servers a headache.

IT world is extremely rational and logical. So what can be more precise than Software Diagrams to rate the results of work? Visual statistics is the best way to understand the data.
This figure demonstrates the data flow diagram (DFD), which was created to describe the electronic system of custom purchase. This is the process of buying using electronic bar code scanning system. Such systems are used in large stores. The cashier scans the bar code, the system outputs the data on the price of the goods and carries out a purchase process. This DFD utilizes the Gane/Sarson notation. To create it The ConceptDraw DFD solution has been applied.

When we start to speak about databases, we must always mention database structure visualization. One of the most common ways to do it is to create an entity relationship diagram, and to put appropriate symbols on it. It is important either for database projecting and for its' future maintenance.
Entity Relationship Diagram describes data elements and their relationships within a database. There are a set of special symbols that depict each element of an entity relationship diagram. Entities - represents some stable components such as supplier, employee, invoice, client, etc. Relation symbols show how the entities interact. Attributes define characteristics of the relationships. Attributes can be one-to-one or many-to-many. Physical symbols is used in the physical models. They represent items such as fields, tables, types and keys. ERD physical symbols are the building material for the database. Notation lines are used to illustrate the relationships. The most common method is Crow’s Feet notation. You can use ConceptDraw Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) solution to represent a database using the Entity-Relationship model.
