ASR SRI policy knows a distinction between companies and countries.

For companies the same assessment criteria applies, in all three cases: Equities, Corporate credtis (financials) and Corporate Credits (not financials). Only for equities there are additional ESG tools as the proxy voting, which are not usable for Corporate Credits. All other tools (ESG integration, best in class assessment, impact investing for example via green bonds, or engagement) are fully applicable for the fixed income corporate credits portfolios.

For countries we have a different policy. ESG integration is here done using a different indicator namely the SDG ranking score for the countries.
