An ESG rating has in itself limited value, it is to be considered a starting point for the work of digging into the details to understand the ESG risks of a company. The urgency is to address the companies where the combination of financial opportunity\/risk and ESG risk rating is weak.<\/p>

What counts is the fundamental ESG research report, you need to understand the specific ESG risks of the companies in your portfolio.<\/p>

Our reports contain these details including the Engagement questions to ask the company.\u00a0Read more about this here: <\/span>ESG* integration \u2013 What is the main value of an ESG score or ESG rating?<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
