  18. Pitfalls of Sustainable Investing ESG to EHG

  19. Green Washing  Greenwashing is top of the worry list for investors when it comes to responsible investing  44% concerned that ESG investments were not what they claimed to be  ESG Investing is looking beyond marketing hype, PR spin and disingenuous promise

  20. Hogwash and Eyewash  Devote resources to improving, quantifying and leveraging ESG than just making minor tweak. Enough with a green-hogwash!  Complying with the regulations and laws on paper is not enough. Stop PR-hogwash!  Overt reliance on self-disclosure and self-certification, exaggerated claims without verification by companies, asset managers and sustainable indices. That’s an eye-wash!

  21. Rating Conundrum How to accurately measure a company’s environmental and social impact, particularly given that ESG remains an evolving concept and reporting standards are still in their infancy?  ESG ratings diverge substantially among rating agencies.  Correlation among ESG ratings by 5 prominent rating agencies is on an average 0.61.  The information the decision-makers receive from ESG ratings agencies is relatively noisy, resulting in confusion.  MIT Sloan paper “Aggregate Confusion: The Divergence of ESG Ratings” explains 50% difference due to measurement divergence, 13% due to weight divergence, 36% due to scope divergence. Establish open and transparent disclosure standards and ensure that data is publicly accessible is the only way forward. Source: MIT Sloan Research Paper (link)

  22. Like Beauty, ESG lies in the eye of the beholder!  March towards sustainability – the promise of ESG  ESG is highly subjective in many aspects  ESG is still evolving – no perfected science Fund house Focus – Governance vs Momentum • ESG Framework evolution • Quality and Depth of Research – no desk research • Long term approach – a market cycle •

  23. What is our Idea? Delivering Long term Value from ESG

  24. 24 What investors can look for in an ESG fund? ESG is the core of investment decision – True to Label. In-depth research and due diligence to ensure ESG research is a priority. Funds with active engagement with portfolio companies to get further disclosures and improve practices. Diversified portfolio with no lopsided portfolio in favor of one sector or theme. Financial sustainability is important consideration along with materiality.

  25. From “Integrity Screen” in 1996 to E, S, G… 1996: Introduced the Integrity Screen  Avoided corporates that treated minority investors  unfairly + “sin stocks” -> Focus predominantly on “G” and to a certain extent on “S” factors 2015: Formalized a process of rating companies on their ESG performance  Proprietary rating methodology • Internal research team • Current database: ~140 companies rated on their ESG performance • 2019: Launched Quantum India ESG Equity Fund with portfolio construction based on  proprietary ESG rating

  26. 26 Quantum’s ESG Approach Our analysis is guided by the materiality of the issues Governance sits at the heart of our analysis Typically focus on areas such as capital allocation, board composition, quality of disclosures and treatment of minority shareholders Shortcomings go hand in hand with poor performance on the social and environmental fronts, making it a good proxy for wider problems Identify companies that can act as long term stewards of capital

  27. 27 Approach to ESG Evaluation Proprietary research (Blended Approach) Scoring system Data Sources Company disclosures (30% weight) Companies are evaluated on their levels of disclosures provided in their sustainability reports / business responsibility reports / annual reports. Companies with higher disclosures get higher scores. Company disclosures •Sustainability reports (GRI Framework) •Business Responsibility Reports (BRR) and annual reports •Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) publications •Pollution Control Board Filings •Industry associations (WBCSD, WRI) •News reports •Management interaction •Binary scoring systems: +1 for disclosure, 0 for non disclosure •Scores standardized from 0 (minimum) to 100 (maximum) Qualitative factors •Negative scoring system: Dependent on relative performance v/s peers or v/s national / global regulations •Penalty for ESG non compliance •Scores standardized from 0 (maximum) to - 100 (minimum) Qualitative factors (70% weight) •Evaluate companies on their ESG performance relative to their peers on material ESG aspects. •Check for any past violations / red flags of certain E&S metrics and corporate governance regulations Consolidated score •Ranges from +30 (maximum to -70 (minimum)

  28. More Than ‘Desk’ ESG Research Primary Research Secondary Research Review & Updates Publicly available data: (a) Annual Reports, Business Responsibility Reports & Sustainability Reports (b) Attend sustainability seminars, conferences (a) ‘G’ – Board Member review, including directorship review in other companies (b) KMP check, including controversies. Related party analysis (a) Review our proprietary ESG scores every 6 months (b) Active controversy monitoring (a) Meet ESG Head of the Company and/or Key Management Personnel (b) Visit Plant, including supply chain.

Refer NGO reports if available (b) Evaluate v/s global peers
