Sustainability Assessments
Our assessments identify sustainability leaders, followers and laggards. We investigate the way companies integrate sustainability issues into their products and sevices, strategies and operations by using a proprietary framework: Three key research modules focus on the sustainability of management and operations, products and services and on certain controversial business practices.
Sustainability Universes
The growth in SRI investing has stimulated demand for tailor-made products such as sustainable investment universes. Inrate screens out businesses with unsustainable business activities and presents managers with a list of companies in which they can invest. This service appeals to all types of investors, including non- SRI specialists who want to enhance their products.
Climate Change Assessments
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges faced by governments, companies and investors in the 21st century. The current situation reveals a gap between investors’ needs and companies reporting practices: most companies either report inadequate or no information at all while investors are becoming increasingly aware that climate risk impacts operational performance and therefore the value of investments.
Portfolio Analysis
Many investors want to monitor how their investments stand from a sustainability and climate change perspective. Portfolio managers need to know if there are risks involved; large pension plans require sustainable investment strategies and private shareholders wish to be informed.
Company Screening
Although sustainability investment approaches are becoming more sophisticated, exclusion strategies are still the most commonplace among investors. Our screening tool identifies companies involved in controversial products or practices that run contrary to ethical investment policies. It provides the necessary information to make exclusion decisions while reducing both reputational and ethical risk for the investor.
