Environment, Social, Governance

When we talk about ESG, we refer to three important topics that are the focus of our sustainable funds:

  • Environment
  • Social
  • Governance

We take these three criteria into account when selecting our funds. They are an integral part of our investment process.
Companies with high ESG risks are excluded. Please note: Investing in securities involves not only opportunities but also risks.

ESGenius® – 
the centrepiece of our sustainability approach

The ESG analysis is the most important part of our sustainability approach.
We use the ESGenius® rating model to assess companies based on their sustainability performance.

With the ESGenius® Score, we identify:

  • Companies with high ESG risks
  • Companies that do not rank among the most sustainable in their sector

This sustainable approach means that we exclude certain companies from our investments.

Erste AM ESGenius® Score

The analysis focuses on the relevant ESG risks, which can be assessed using statistical analysis. Based on this data, Erste AM's Responsible Investment Team creates the proprietary Erste AM ESGenius® Score. Each company receives a sustainability rating ranging from 0 to 100.
