ESG Risk Scores
We consider ESG risk scores on a case by case method and in the context of the respective benchmark and the investment universe. A diligent evaluation of the results is undertaken, especially in the event of unfavourable risk scores or substantial deviation from the peer group.
Global Standards
We are committed to supporting the adoption of sustainable and socially responsible policies in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. Companies or states that deliberately violate them have to take a broader and more rigorous analysis.
Controversies
A holistic view of the risk spectrum is carried out, with a profound evaluation of companies/states with high risk ratings.
