Major listed companies are doing their utmost to achieve the best possible rating according to the ESG criteria applied by specialist rating agencies. Despite this, they denounce the wide disparity in methodologies and the differences in scores from one agency to another.But a blind spot remains: ESG assessments carried out by investors, which have an impact on financial markets, are just as disparate. LVMH and ValueCo have joined forces to address this issue.
The integration of extra-financial criteria in portfolio construction has an impact on a fund's investment policy and therefore on its performance. The processes, methodologies, ESG criteria, issues taken into account, etc., can differ greatly from one management company to another. The whole complexity for a fund selector or a multi-manager is to ensure the optimal transparency of a portfolio.ValueCo compiles fund ESG data in order to provide us with an extremely detailed analysis of our positions. We can thus detect risk factors allowing us to better understand our portfolios and identify funds that meet our criteria.
We are stepping up our exchanges with ESG investors, but we do not have access to their assessment of our commitments. Rating agencies, although often used, offer limited correlation.We do not have access to the global ESG perception that is essential today. This is why I was attracted by ValueCo's solution, offering an enlightened vision for our future actions with ESG investors."
ValueCo allows us to question our existing ESG data providers and determine how well they align with and deviate from market consensus, complementing our existing qualitative and quantitative ESG analyses.Their algorithm allowed us to identify outliers and create priority lists in order to prioritize due diligence and in-depth ESG analyses.Through this collaboration, we are accelerating our ESG validation, while targeting specific companies and investment funds that require our attention from an ESG and impact perspective.
Aligning Values and Valuation for a responsible financial system. ValueCo captures the market value of sustainability.
