Below are 3 charts that show environmental, social, and governance scores by country for the year 2017.  The countries are chosen if they have 30 or more firms in the sample. The charts show mean and median values and the standard deviations.  The most interesting thing about the ESG scores by country is the fact that the United States is ranked low with respect to Environmental and Social but high with respect to governance. The United States also has the largest standard deviation values. It is important to note that the US firms are overrepresented in the sample which made lead to bias.  However, this is normal, as USA firms are overrepresented in many studies and databases due to the availability of data.

Besides the charts/graphs I have generated on overall scores, it is important to show the data by other factors: Country and Industry. Below are 2 charts that show environmental scores by country for the year 2017.  The countries are chosen if they have 30 or more firms in the sample. The first chart shows mean and median environmental scores. The second chart presents the mean and standard deviation.
