Survey of ESG Reports in Hong Kong 2018 - Overview
This document summarizes the key findings from a survey of ESG reports from the top 200 listed companies in Hong Kong by market capitalization. It finds that while reporting practices are improving, there is still room for growth in disclosure quality, particularly around quantitative performance data and target setting. Board involvement in sustainability governance remains an area for development. Environmental disclosure quality varies, with good narrative descriptions but many companies failing to report performance results. Social disclosure requires more attention, especially regarding supply chain management and human rights. Community investment programs tend to focus on philanthropy over creating social value. Industry-level analysis shows variations in disclosure quality across sectors.
Come Clean Report from Weber Shandwick
The document provides an overview of a report by Weber Shandwick on barriers and opportunities for cleantech in Europe. Some key points:
- Eight out of ten large European organizations claim to have cleantech policies, but perceive cost as a major barrier to adoption. Other competing priorities and changing regulations also inhibit cleantech purchasing.
- Energy efficiency, recycling, and renewable energy are seen as the top investment areas for cleantech over the next two years.
- Many cleantech communicators are not effectively reaching their target audiences in large organizations. Information provided is often inadequate or too complex.
- Despite economic challenges, environmental attributes remain important in procurement decisions across Europe. Green purchasing is expected to become even

A tour of the global ESG standards landscape, 100 days out from COP26, explaining how Inline XBRL, a building block approach to international standards consistency, and independent review of coming mandatory ESG disclosures will change reporting. Presented to the Taiwan Stock Exchange 21 July 2021.
Esg Reporting Guide
The document provides guidance for companies listed on Nasdaq Nordic exchanges on reporting environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics. It recommends a set of 11 ESG metrics that are most material for investors based on their prevalence in reporting frameworks, potential to impact company performance, and practicality for companies to report. The suggested metrics cover topics like greenhouse gas emissions, energy use, water and waste management, diversity and pay equity, and business ethics. Companies are encouraged to publicly report on these metrics and engage with stakeholders to improve access to capital, profitability, risk management and reputation. Overall the guidance aims to help companies meet growing investor demand for ESG data and contribute to sustainable development.

ESG Is No Longer Optional. What Every Private Equity Manager Should Know
Recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5NBmZs84gY&feature=youtu.be
Responsible investment (or ESG), once a do-good sideshow, is becoming mainstream. Private equity managers must consider a host of issues, from gender diversity to carbon emissions, or risk losing investor capital and deals. The trend is only growing.
The challenge today is formalizing ESG policies to meet heightened standards. In this webinar, Navatar in conjunction with Invest Europe, brought together leading ESG thinkers from the industry to discuss how GPs should present their ESG framework to investors, what to consider during pre-investment due diligence, and ultimately portfolio monitoring and exit.
We address:
- Why your ESG strategy can make or break a deal
- What LPs want to see in your policies/practices
- Bringing your ESG DDQ to the next level
-Automation, plastics and other emerging ESG risks

Sneak Peek: A Gold-standard Benchmark for ESG Performance
Bob Willard, Thought Leader and Author, The New Sustainability Advantage
What are the key characteristics of a truly sustainable enterprise, and how can they be used to build a 'gold standard' ESG performance benchmark? How do companies need to perform on key ESG criteria, and respective KPIs, if the business world is to conform to fundamental science-based conditions required for human society to flourish on our finite planet?
ESG Roadmap: Observations and practical advice for boards, corporate secretar...
Company governance practices and failures have long been an important factor in investor
analysis of a firm’s short-term and long-term value. Over the last several decades—with an
acceleration in the last five years—the relevance to investors of a company’s environmental and
social impacts stemming from its practices, policies and products has increased substantially.
Effective oversight and management by boards, corporate secretaries and sustainability teams
of so-called “ESG” (environmental, social and governance) issues are increasingly important to
preserving and creating shareholder value. Driven by client demand, reputational risk
management and a supportive body of financial research, many investors are demanding that
companies think more broadly about their ESG impacts, take corrective action (if required) and
disclose their ESG-related efforts. In this brief, we will examine the drivers of the growth in
ESG-related investing and engagement, explore ESG’s impact on financial products and
strategies and suggest practical advice to assist boards, corporate secretaries and sustainability
teams.
Insurance Role in a Climate Change Constraint World: UAE Motor Best Practice ...
Insurance is the risk manager of a society playing a substantial role in fostering economic growth. The role of insurance industry is to analyze impending threats and to provide solutions for adapting and mitigating such threats. The increasing awareness on climate change and risks posed by it has given insurance industry a center stage in devising policy solutions. The leading insurance industries such as Munich Re, Swiss Re and Allianz have assisted UNEP in devising principles of sustainable insurance. Along with that, insurance sector has advocated and implemented Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) framework. They have aligned their corporate strategies in accordance with ESG framework in order to create an environmentally safe, socially just operating space for humanity.
Esg 2020 slides
Institutional investors are increasingly adopting ESG investing on a global scale. A survey of over 500 institutional investors found that more than half now fully integrate ESG into their investment approach, up from 36% in 2019. Motivations for ESG investing include obtaining better risk-adjusted returns and risk management. However, concerns around "greenwashing" where companies only pay lip service to ESG issues remain high. The lack of clear evidence linking ESG performance to financial performance also poses a barrier to greater ESG adoption.
2013 PR ESG Survey
When we conducted our inaugural environmental, social and governance (ESG) survey of private equity (PE) professionals last year, it was startling to see that nearly half (49%) of our general partner (GP) respondents did not have an ESG program at their firm and had no plans to create one, despite heightened concern from limited partners (LPs) on ESG issues. What a difference a year makes—not to mention the fact that we had a higher proportion of European respondents this year, who are much more progressive when it comes to ESG issues. In our second edition of the ESG survey, a majority of GP respondents (60%) now work at a firm with an established ESG program and another 26% either have an ESG program in development or plan to create one in the near future. However, there are still some PE firms that see little value in ESG programs. As one GP respondent put it: “we think [ESG] is the most asinine initiative ever to come out in the business world.”
While some PE firms eschew ESG issues and think that strong fund performance is enough to attract LP commitments, the LPs themselves are telling a different story. Eighty-four percent of LP respondents say that ESG issues are at least somewhat important when deciding whether or not to commit to a PE fund, with 18% claiming they are essential. Furthermore, 24% said they would they would commit to a fund with slightly lower historical performance if the firm had a strong ESG program. Remember, many of the largest contributors to PE funds are public pension plans, endowments, foundations and sovereign wealth funds—institutions which not only are interested in returns but also have an image to maintain. “GPs have to be more aware of investors’ desire for knowledge of their investments beyond just the financial return,” commented one LP respondent, while adding that the responsibility ultimately falls on the investors: “GPs will only change if the LPs push them to.”
One of the big takeaways from this year’s survey is that more PE firms are taking the necessary steps to make ESG a fundamental part of their investment approach. For example, 28% of GP respondents indicated that their firm produces a corporate social responsibility (CSR) report, up from 18% in 2012. And while finding effective metrics to monitor ESG performance continues to be the largest hurdle for ESG efforts, PE firms continue to find new ways to measure their ESG initiatives and have increasingly utilized forums, case studies and industry events and guidelines to fill the knowledge gap.
We hope that this survey serves as a lens into the current state of ESG issues in the PE industry and provides a starting point for developing a set of best practices that can be adopted by firms of all sizes. If you are interested in participating in future editions of the survey, or have any comments or suggestions for how we can improve this report, please contact us at research@pitchbook.com.

Stakeholders Take Center Stage: Director Views on Priorities and SocietyStanford GSB Corporate Governance Research Initiative
By David F. Larcker, Brian Tayan, Dottie Schindlinger and Anne Kors, CGRI Survey Series. Corporate Governance Research Initiative, Stanford Rock Center for Corporate Governance and the Diligent Institute, November 2019
New research from the Rock Center for Corporate Governance at Stanford University and the Diligent Institute finds that corporate directors are not as shareholder-centric as commonly believed and that companies do not put the needs of shareholders significantly above the needs of their employees or society at large. Instead, directors pay considerable attention to important stakeholders—particularly their workforce—and take the interests of these groups into account as part of their long-term business planning.
• While directors are largely satisfied with their ESG-related efforts, they do not believe the outside world understands or appreciates the work they do.
• Directors recognize that tensions exist between shareholder and stakeholder interests. That said,
most believe their companies successfully balance this tension.
• In general, directors reject the view that their companies have a short-term investment horizon in
running their businesses.
In the summer of 2019, the Diligent Institute and the Rock Center for Corporate Governance at Stanford University surveyed nearly 200 directors of public and private corporations globally to better understand how they balance shareholder and stakeholder needs.

ESG-ROADMAP
With the effects of climate change already upon us, the need to cut global greenhouse gas emissions is nothing less than urgent. It’s a daunting challenge, but the technologies and strategies to meet it exist today. A small set of ESG policies, designed and implemented well, can put us on the path to a low carbon future. ESG Key Performance Indicators are complex, so they must be sector specific, focused and cost-effective. One-size-fits-all approaches simply won’t get the job done. Sustainability managers need a clear, comprehensive resource that outlines the ESG policies that will have the biggest impact on our climate future, and describes how to implement these policies well within their own organisations.
We don’t need to wait for new technologies or strategies to create a low carbon future—and we can’t afford to. ESG-ROADMAP gives professionals the tools they need to select, design, and implement the policies that can put us on the path to a livable climate future.
The Environmental Social Governance challenges e.g: on regulatory and reputational risks, market scandals and new market opportunities makes ESG information a data source of growing importance. With ESG in company seminars, round table discussions, scholarships and online association programs, we leave no one behind. Sign up today.

2) The study found that applying a positive tilt to ESG factors resulted in a small but steady performance advantage for corporate bond portfolios, with no evidence of negative performance impact. The positive effect was strongest for governance factors.
3) The study contributes new evidence that ESG investing need not negatively impact bondholder returns and can be successfully applied to credit markets in addition to equity markets.

ESG-ROADMAP
With the effects of climate change already upon us, the need to cut global greenhouse gas emissions is nothing less than urgent. It’s a daunting challenge, but the technologies and strategies to meet it exist today. A small set of ESG policies, designed and implemented well, can put us on the path to a low carbon future. ESG Key Performance Indicators are complex, so they must be sector specific, focused and cost-effective. One-size-fits-all approaches simply won’t get the job done. Sustainability managers need a clear, comprehensive resource that outlines the ESG policies that will have the biggest impact on our climate future, and describes how to implement these policies well within their own organisations.
We don’t need to wait for new technologies or strategies to create a low carbon future—and we can’t afford to. ESG-ROADMAP gives professionals the tools they need to select, design, and implement the policies that can put us on the path to a livable climate future.
The Environmental Social Governance challenges e.g: on regulatory and reputational risks, market scandals and new market opportunities makes ESG information a data source of growing importance. With ESG in company seminars, round table discussions, scholarships and online association programs, we leave no one behind. Sign up today.

It also provides guidance on assessing external managers and how ESG integration affects the investment process.

1) The document presents the findings of a study by Barclays Research into the relationship between environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors and corporate bond portfolio performance.
2) The study found that applying a positive tilt to ESG factors resulted in a small but steady performance advantage for corporate bond portfolios, with no evidence of negative performance impact. The positive effect was strongest for governance factors.
3) The study contributes new evidence that ESG investing need not negatively impact bondholder returns and can be successfully applied to credit markets in addition to equity markets.

The document discusses board evaluation. It notes that board evaluation is important to comply with corporate governance codes, identify ways to increase board effectiveness, and demonstrate that boards take their responsibilities seriously. A brief history of board evaluation requirements in UK corporate governance codes is provided. Key principles from the 2018 UK Corporate Governance Code regarding annual board evaluation and using external evaluators are summarized. Concerns about the quality, methodologies, potential conflicts of interest of independent board reviewers are raised.Ar csr 2014 presentation
The document discusses the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and stock market efficiency. It provides evidence that socially responsible investors are increasingly considering sustainability issues when making investment decisions. While CSR reporting is no longer niche, the impact of CSR announcements on share prices varies in different markets. For example, deletion from a socially responsible investment index in the US can result in significant losses, but CSR announcements may not influence prices on the Nairobi Securities Exchange. Overall, research shows companies with better CSR performance can achieve competitive advantages through reduced risk, improved productivity and stronger brand loyalty.

This document discusses sustainability in executive compensation. It provides an overview of concepts like ESG factors, responsible investing, and the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment initiative. Examples are given of how companies like Intel link sustainability metrics to compensation, with half of employee bonuses based on factors like energy efficiency. The document advocates aligning pay with long-term strategy and ESG value drivers to create sustained shareholder value. It also notes challenges around standardization and complexity when incorporating ESG into compensation.
Day 2 - ESG & Investing.pptx
- There are various approaches to ESG investing including screening/divestment from religious or ethical perspectives, engagement and shareholder activism, portfolio optimization incorporating ESG factors, and impact investing where social/environmental impacts are a primary goal alongside financial returns.
- Early ESG efforts focused on screening out "sin stocks" like weapons, tobacco, etc. based on ethical values rather than returns. Recent approaches integrate ESG data into portfolio construction and company engagement/activism to improve risk-adjusted returns.
- Successful ESG engagement requires substantial assets, a track record, targeting large underperforming companies, and addressing governance, social, and environmental issues. Collaboration generally has higher success rates than confrontation.
HOW ASSET OWNERS CAN DRIVE RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT
Responsible investment is an approach to investment that explicitly acknowledges the relevance to the investor of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, and the long-term health and stability of the market as a whole. It recognises that generating long-term sustainable returns is dependent on stable, well-functioning and well governed social, environmental and economic systems.
It is driven by a growing recognition in the financial community that effective research, analysis and evaluation of ESG issues is a fundamental part of assessing the value and performance of an investment over the medium and longer term, and that this analysis should inform asset allocation, stock selection, portfolio construction, shareholder engagement and voting.
How Asset Owners Can Drive Responsible Investment
Even though many asset owners have made commitments to responsible investment, the majority have yet to ensure that these are effectively implemented. There are inconsistencies in investment practices in different asset classes, high-level statements on sustainability or environmental, social and governance issues are often missing from investment beliefs, and responsible investment commitments are not embedded in investment mandates.
This creates a multiplier effect throughout the investment market. Weak implementation of responsible investment by individual asset owners sends signals to the investment market as a whole that responsible investment is not a priority for asset owners. In turn, this limits the willingness of investment consultants and investment managers to focus on responsible investment and ESG issues in their products and in their advice.
By implementing their commitments to responsible investment with sufficient scale and depth, asset owners can accelerate the development of responsible investment through the investment chain.

Addessing-ESG-factors-under-ERISA
This document provides two legal perspectives on integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into investment decision-making under ERISA guidelines. It begins with an overview of the DOL's recent clarification that considering ESG issues as economic factors is aligned with fiduciary duties. The first perspective, from Morgan Lewis, reiterates that ESG integration to enhance returns does not raise duty of loyalty issues from past DOL guidance. It explains how responsible investment differs from past concepts of social investing. The second perspective, from Groom Law, emphasizes the need for a prudent process when considering any factors, and provides a framework for such a process when integrating ESG issues.

1) Fundraising may be poised to take advantage of new technologies and become "smart" by being intelligent, connected, and able to sense, process, report, and take corrective action.

3) Fundraisers have the unique ability to sense global challenges, process information about issues like inequality and poverty, report on problems, and take corrective action by supporting causes that address these issues.

SUSTAINABLE INVESTING UNVEILED: THE ROLE OF BOND RATINGS IN GUIDING GREEN BON...
The increasing urgency to address climate change has propelled sustainable investing into the spotlight, with green bonds emerging as a pivotal instrument for mobilizing the capital required for environmental projects. This study delves into the critical role that bond ratings play in guiding investments in green bonds, shedding light on how these ratings influence investor confidence and the allocation of funds towards sustainable initiatives. By employing a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis of green bond performance with qualitative interviews from industry experts, this research offers a comprehensive overview of the interplay between bond ratings and green bond investments. The findings suggest that higher bond ratings, often indicative of lower risk and better sustainability credentials, significantly impact the attractiveness of green bonds to investors. Additionally, the study examines the evolution of rating criteria to encompass environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, highlighting the shift towards more holistic assessments of investment risk and potential. This research contributes to the broader discourse on sustainable finance by providing insights into the mechanisms through which bond ratings can facilitate more informed and impactful green bond investments.
