The growing importance of ESG data in investment decision-making:
ESG strategies are used by investors seeking to align their financial objectives with their personal values and commitment to sustainability. ESG data will enable investors to make informed decisions about asset performance based on frameworks that are fundamental to their business. Investors can use ESG data to assess the quality of a company’s management, the company’s ability to manage long-term risks, and its commitment to sustainability.
Why are ESG strategies important in investment decisions?
ESG strategies will also be an important decision-making criterion for investment fund managers. This will require asset managers and investors to improve the analysis of their portfolios and strengthen tenant engagement to obtain data on building performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
In summary, there are several ESG or responsible investment strategies that apply specifically to the real asset sector, the most widespread being ESG integration within the entire investment process.
The investor or investment manager must identify risks and opportunities, and establish an ESG strategy aligned with their mission and involving their stakeholders.
