As the world becomes increasingly aware of the importance of sustainability, investors are seeking ways to align their investments with their values. Credit investors, too, have an opportunity to drive change by incorporating sustainability factors into their decision-making processes. But doing this effectively requires disciplined application of sensible tools and methodologies.
In this paper, we highlight four methodologies that our Credit teams use in issuer selection and portfolio construction to help direct capital for the well-being of society. We discuss Robeco’s ESG integration methodology, our latest innovations in decarbonizing credit portfolios, the application of Robeco’s SDGs framework, and our ESG bond screening policy.
Portfolio managers, credit analysts and sustainability experts share their personal insights and learnings, describe the practical application of these methodologies and give real-life case studies.
