As mentioned earlier, screening is a part of the investment process, to establish a starting point for the analysis and also to narrow down the number of issuers/companies to further analyze. The screening might indicate weak/strong areas with the issuer to be brought up in discussions with the issuer, sell-side and internal ESG specialist.
If the company is non listed the process will look a bit different and the search for ESG data and information relies more on company, sell-side and ESG specialist input. Media can also contribute. In thoses cases extar time is put on potential ESG issues in the issuer analysis.
For example
ESG questions to issuer and other stakeholders
Car retailer/service
Enviromental policy
- reduction of the environmental stress
- CO2 reduction program
- EV use
- energy efficiency
- recycling
Construction and property management
ESG policies (environment, social, governance)
