Clarity to make business and investment decisions. Clarity to move their organizations forward with confidence. Last year, more companies than ever took part in our Corporate Sustainability Assessment. A record amount of corporate ESG data derived from this preeminent evaluation offers shareholders, executives and anyone who wants independent insights, the transparency to make better-informed choices. This new level of disclosure is testimony to one of the silver linings of 2020. The convergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, increased consciousness of race, diversity and inclusion in our communities and the devastation created by extreme weather and climate change have cemented the theme of sustainability as the business community’s No. 1 priority. As we begin 2021, the commitment of the new U.S. administration to put climate policy at the forefront of its domestic and international agendas promises to reinforce and accelerate this trend, with implications for the growth in carbon markets and innovation in the broader energy transition. 6 The Sustainability Yearbook 2021 This Yearbook is once again filled with Looking ahead to the rest of 2021 and revealing data and stories. Articles beyond, I am as hopeful as ever about about rethinking how to assign value the positive contributions businesses across investments, companies will make to society.

In a year when so many other things were competing for people’s attention, I want Sincerely, to express S&P Global’s gratitude to each of the companies that participated Douglas L. Peterson in the CSA in 2020. Contributing to the President and CEO CSA last year demonstrated a great deal S&P Global of commitment to transparency and to building more sustainable economies and communities during a difficult time. I also want to thank every one of our team members who are responsible for collecting and analyzing the CSA submissions. It’s been one year since we acquired the ESG ratings business from the asset manager Robeco. We’re proud of the team’s integration and we’re pleased at how essential the CSA has become to the ESG work we’re doing at our company.

As a result, the value of easily monetized input, outputs, and capital assets is overestimated while the more diffuse but nevertheless material value that characterizes social and environmental assets is underestimated. Moreover, such rigid accounting frameworks omit costly externalities that further distort current estimates and future outlooks.

  • An Introductory Guide to SDG Credits
    FOR PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS An introductory guide to SDG Credits SEPTEMBER 2021 Introduction Although investors are increasingly embracing sustainable investing, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Sustainable investing means different things to different people, and their investment goals can vary considerably. While it is easy for asset managers to talk about sustainability, it is much more challenging for them to implement it. Compounding the lack of a clear definition is the challenge of measuring the impact sustainable investors make. Nevertheless, there have been some very interesting developments in this ever-evolving investment field. Launched in 2015 the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) take goals within this timescale. As governments alone are unlikely to be able the quest for sustainability to the next level by making integration find such huge sums of money, the UN has explicitly asked the private tangible and measurable. Investors are becoming increasingly interested sector, including asset owners, to contribute as well. According to a survey in investment products that contribute to the realization of these goals among Dutch institutional investors carried out by the Dutch Association and at the same time offer attractive returns. Building on the success of Investors for Sustainable Development (VBDO), the SDGs are on the of the Millennium Development Goals and adopted as part of the 2030 agenda of pension fund boards, although most of them have yet to Agenda for Sustainable Development, which was signed by 193 countries, integrate SDGs in their portfolios. the SDGs are a vast agenda of 17 goals and 169 targets such as the elimination of poverty and hunger, decent work and growth, sustainable Why should investors embrace the SDGs? cities and communities.

The MSCI World Index increased by Thiemo Lang, PhD more than 30% (in EUR) and closed at a new record level. Markets received Senior Portfolio Manager strong support from central banks which adjusted monetary policy during the year to compensate for the slowdown in global manufacturing production. The Fed began the year with a surprised suspension of anticipated interest rate hikes, but then even decided on three rate cuts as the year progressed. Even more aggressive was the ECBs policy stance that lowered rates to historic lows and saw the re-initiation of its bond purchasing program. The global economy grew modestly but lost some momentum, especially in Europe and China. Purchasing Manager Indices softened in the first half of the year, temporarily raising concerns of an approaching recession. Still, a turn-around in industrial activity in Q4 as well as continued robust consumer spending supported investor confidence. An escalation of the trade dispute between China and the US remained a constant theme throughout the year. New tariffs were implemented in several tranches with even higher tariff rates threatening. In the end, both parties returned to the negotiating table agreeing to a so-called “phase-one” deal which includes higher Chinese imports of US agricultural and energy products.

  • Robecosam Communication on Progress (COP)
    RobecoSAM Communication on Progress (COP) General Period covered: FY2013 - 2014 Background and Scope of COP: RobecoSAM is a specialized investment boutique, focusing exclusively on Sustainability Investing with 100 employees based in Zurich Switzerland. Hence, the direct impact of our operations on environmental or human rights matters is negligible. However, RobecoSAM has been assessing companies on environmental, social and economic criteria since 1995, thereby preceding the launch of the Global Compact by 5 years. RobecoSAM assesses and rates the corporate sustainability of corporates on the basis of public information as well as information provided directly by those companies. The overall market capitalization of all companies assessed amounts to over 35 trillion US dollars, which represents over 65% of the world global market capitalization of publically traded stocks. Many of those companies use the results of RobecoSAM’s assessment as a benchmark to improve their own corporate sustainability performance. RobecoSAM’s indirect impact on global corporates behaviour is therefore infinitely more significant than its direct impact due to its own operations. Hence, in the following report, we mostly address our indirect impact. While one of the outputs of this assessment is widely known as the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices, RobecoSAM also puts together an annual review of the assessment, the RobecoSAM Yearbook, which we attach to this COP. Statement of continued support by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) H.E. Ban Ki-moon Secretary-General United Nations New York, NY 10017, USA Zurich, February 6th, 2014 Dear Mr. Secretary-General, We are pleased to confirm that RobecoSAM supports the ten principles of the Global Compact with respect to human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption.

It’s moved to the top of the agenda at The World Economic Forum. Sustainable investing assets are growing. And you see more CEOs and corporate policy experts advocating long-term thinking. Virtually everywhere I go there are discussions about the role asset owners and the world’s largest businesses have in society, and how we all should be measuring their performance in that context. Just a few years ago these topics didn’t really resonate beyond Scandinavia, parts of Asia and segments of the investment community. Now they’re pervasive. The rising prominence of environmental, social and governance, or ESG, issues and the market demand for greater insights about these matters make this Sustainability Yearbook more important than ever. This Yearbook stands out for another reason. It’s the first one published by S&P Global. 4 The Sustainability Yearbook 2020 We’re incredibly proud to have acquired We thank everyone who participates in RobecoSAM’s ESG Ratings and the CSA for their continued partnership.
