Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) allows you to give meaning to your wealth without sacrificing growth potential. It offers a way of combining financial return with a social and environmental contribution.
Applying ESG criteria
Financial data alone are no longer sufficient to evaluate a company. Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria are the three pillars of its extra-financial analysis.
ESG criteria
Environmental
Waste management, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, prevention of environmental risks etc.
Social
Prevention of accidents, employee training, respect for the rights of employees, the supply chain, employee-labour relations etc.
Governance
Independence of the board of directors, the management structure, the presence of an audit committee etc.
