SUSTAINABLE INVESTING RELATED RESEARCH

There is currently no globally accepted framework or definition (legal, regulatory or otherwise) of, nor

market consensus as to what constitutes a ‘sustainable’, ‘ESG’, ‘green’, ‘climate-friendly’ or an

equivalent company, investment, strategy or consideration or what precise attributes are required to

be eligible to be categorised by such terms. This means there are different ways to evaluate a

company or an investment and so different values may be placed on certain sustainability credentials

as well as adverse ESG-related impacts of companies and ESG controversies. The evolving nature of

sustainable investing considerations, models and methodologies means it can be challenging to

definitively and universally classify a company or investment under a sustainable investing label and

there may be areas where such companies and investments could improve or where adverse ESG-

related impacts or ESG controversies exist.
