Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)
Criteria
• Environmental criteria looks at how a company
performs as a steward of the natural environment.
– energy use, waste, pollution, natural resource conservation
and animal treatment
• Social criteria examines how a company manages
relationships with its employees, suppliers,
customers and the communities where it operates
• Governance deals with a company’s leadership,
executive pay, audits and internal controls,
and shareholder rights
ESG Issues Incorporated in Asset Management
• Environmental investment factors are incorporated in the
management of 672 investment vehicles with $2.94 trillion
in assets under management
• Social criteria, which include Sudan-avoidance policies and
community-related investment policies, incorporated in the
management of $4.27 trillion across a wide range of 770
investment vehicles
• Governance issues are incorporated by a total of 501
investment vehicles with $3.53 trillion in assets
• Product-specific criteria, such as restrictions on investment
in tobacco and alcohol, are included in the management of
445 investment vehicles with $1.76 trillion in assets.
FYI
Performance of SRI Funds
Alternatives?
• Invest conventionally
– Afterwards give your outperformance to charities that make
a difference.
–
• Problem : Some problems cannot be cleaned up,
such as malformed babies or drowning and starving
polar bears.
• Problem : Most cleanups cost more than doing it
right in the first place. How much outperformance
will it take to clean up mess?
