There isn't much context since it's a graph.
The caption reads:
"Mentions of "ESG" and "cost" in global corporate documents (4Q rolling)"
I've been finding many instances of "4Q rolling" or "4Q rolling sum", but no explanations :(
Can anyone help me decode its meaning? Thanks!

Q4 (or 4th quarter) and onwards
Hello Laura,
I assume you are looking at the graph in the exhibition 2 on page 3 of the following link at:
Sustainability May Be Problematic for Some
https://www.arx.cfa/~/media/2D11BC6C677A490089EAD73F52E2EE40...
"4Q" means 4th quarter of a fiscal year, and "rolling" as a graph title probably could be a shorten form of "rolling average" or something that you could probably figure out from paragraphs before/after the graph you are looking at.
Also, here is a search result of "4Q", "Rolling" and "Onwards" for your reference at:
https://www.google.com/search?q=4Q rolling onwards&rlz=1C1JZ...
Most of the links listed at the top of the search results uterize 4Q rolling, although which context might vary depending on the entities but this might be informative for you as well.

Tony M
: I don't think this is a viable suggestion. '4Q' normally = 'a period of 4 quarters'; to refer to 'the 4th quarter', it's usually expressed as 'Q4'. 'Rolling' would not even approximately mean 'onwards', it has a specific sense here of 'a rolling period'

Some orgs outside of the territory of your "genuine" English, i.e. Japan, describe the 4th quarter as 4Q. The world's changing rapidly & the language is evolving fast. Keep up with your genuiness by looking outside of the box.
