How Our ESG Integration Process Works We prioritize numerous inputs to capture material ESG-risks and opportunities based on the sector in which an issuer operates. These inputs are mapped to ESG pillars and specific factors that differ by sector. The framework has a greater focus on the materiality of the specific ESG factors for each industry, guided by SASB and TCFD Standards. We capture quantitative metrics (current data and trends over time) and qualitative discussion points that provide insights into how management teams and boards develop and present their ESG profiles and deliver improvements over time. We also believe the qualitative inputs to ESG analysis are increasingly important to understand context and initiate discussions with management teams and third parties such as regulators, rating agencies, and other investors globally.
