Environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing looks to find companies which share the same principles as you. Some companies may adhere to one or more of these areas, however what’s considered responsible to one investor, may be something very different to another.

Environmental criteria typically considers how a company performs as a steward of nature and the local environment, such as pollution. Social criteria examines how it manages relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, and the communities where it operates. Governance deals with a company’s leadership, management / executive pay, audits, internal controls, and shareholder rights.

ESG and Ethical investments are wide ranging and at times it can be difficult to truly understand what the underlying companies really do. We spend the time to get to know your goals and how best to meet them.

It’s now widely accepted that companies with strong ESG profiles may be better positioned for future challenges and experience fewer instances of bribery, corruption, and fraud.

ethical screening

Most ethical funds screen companies to decide whether they should be allowed into the portfolio. There are two types of screening that are commonly used: negative and positive. Negative screening is where you exclude certain things, usually alcohol, tobacco, arms and pornography companies or companies in oppressive regimes.Positive screening tries to include companies that add something to the community, that have good corporate governance and working practices, for example.

Using a mixture of the two types of screening can let the fund manager consider more arguments. Another way in which some fund managers incorporate socially responsible principles into their management is by talking to companies.
