Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Considerations.

Cornmarket believes in building a more sustainable future for us all.

Investing AVC members’ money in a responsible way helps make that a reality and is more likely to create and preserve long-term investment growth.

For the Investment Managers who are responsible for managing the investment funds, responsible investing is an integral part of the investment philosophy.

What is ESG?

Environmental, Social and Governance refers to the three key factors used to measure the sustainability and societal impact of an investment in a company or business.

  • Environmental criteria examines the environmental impact.
  • Social criteria examines how a company manages relationships with employees, suppliers, customers and communities.
  • Governance criteria examines a company’s leadership, board diversity and independence as well as business ethics.

What is ESG Investing?

ESG Investing integrates the above mentioned ESG factors into investment decisions, aiming to generate long-term competitive financial returns and positive social impact.
