There is no right or wrong way to do it – all professional investors will approach it differently, and use different criteria, based on what their clients or beneficiaries want. Our new white paper entitled ‘Seven steps to ESG integration – the Robeco approach’ lays down for the first time how such an important part of Robeco’s investing philosophy and landscape was created over time.
In short, the steps are:
Defining your investment belief, as this will define your sustainability investing strategy.
Embedding it in the organization, and then seeing the multiplier effect.
Creating an integrated framework, which for Robeco means…
Having access to leading research, from our sister company RobecoSAM;
Integrating ESG, where each investment process requires its own approach; and
Using active ownership to enhance performance and take responsibility
Finally, there is raising the bar, as global challenges continue to shape markets.
