Our Core
Fundamental ESG* risk research by Certified ESG* research analysts
Our approach to ESG research is fundamental, that means that we study all relevant publications by a company and combines this with fundamental understanding of ESG challenges of different activities and sectors. This makes us well placed to estimate the ESG risks of a company. We publish a 33 pages ESG research report per company with a conclusion highlighting the most important residual risks, a section suggesting how it should be integrated in investment decisions and a list of all the questions we think should be asked to the company in question.
Based on our fundamental ESG research process, we score up to over 130 separate indicators on the ESG risk mitigating impact, or seen from the other side, what level of ESG risk that remains on that specific point of interest. Based on our understanding of ESG materiality, we make a weighted total ESG risk score for the company we have researched.
Based on our fundamental ESG research process, we score up to over 130 separate indicators on the ESG risk mitigating impact, or seen from the other side, what level of ESG risk that remains on that specific point of interest. This data is available as an option for clients with own ESG score methodology.
In addition to ESG research, we gather PAI data for the companies we research. This includes all the mandatory and the full E and S voluntary lists. This data is available as an option for clients.
In addition to the ESG research, we screen companies for activities, practices and products that investors at times exclude from their investible universe. All the activities in the EU EET file are included, plus a more detailed set of screening criteria in the fossil fuel value chain, for example oil sand, fracking, upstream and down stream activities. This data is available as an option for clients.
