Mazars ESG Sustainable Investment report 2021

Despite the Covid pandemic, ESG issues have continued to garner more attention in the investment management sphere, with much of this being driven by demand from clients and their stakeholders.

The landscape for ‘responsible’ investment has developed at pace. It is no longer the case that only ethical policies based upon exclusions are sufficient. Instead, the focus has turned to the need to demonstrate a positive impact.

This aspect of portfolio governance is still in its infancy, with little agreement on how best to measure and represent ESG benefits and challenges around the authenticity of the claims of some financial and corporate institutions, so-called ‘greenwashing’. We expect further evolution, refinement and consensus on these issues over the next few years.

Our ESG Impact report

We are pleased to launch our annual ESG impact report.

In this report, we consider the position of our sustainable model portfolios, using our proprietary Sustainability Score, against the key characteristics of each underlying fund within the portfolio.

We then look to bring to life some of the key themes within the portfolio together. Including individual stock examples, the portfolio’s alignment with the UN SDGs, positive engagement by fund managers, and further developments in the ESG arena.
