Abstract:

Modern investors and financiers are increasingly considering a wide range of non-financial factors when making investment decisions. ESG investment (investing), which considers environmental (E), social (S) and governance (G) aspects of companies activities, has been gaining momentum for quite a while. At the same time there is no clear definition or understanding of the boundaries of ESG investing now. That explains the relevance of the research with its purpose to examine the essence of the ESG investment concept and the basic features distinguishing it from other kinds of investing. This purpose is fulfilled through the methodology of system analysis, methods of historical and comparative analysis. As a result, the authors concluded that, despite its comprehensive nature and growing relevance, ESG investing cannot be considered an umbrella term for all types of values-based investment. This is due to the concepts semantic emphasis on the three groups of ESG factors, ESG risks and their impact on financial results. Arguably, the growing use of the similar terms ESG investing, sustainable investing and responsible investing reflects the interest of various stakeholders in the characteristic features of these concepts.

Abstract:

Purpose – Environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks have the potential to negatively impact financial returns, yet few superannuation funds integrate these considerations into their investment selection. The Cooper Review (2010) identified a lack of member demand as a key impediment to ESG investing by superannuation funds. Given this problem, the aim of this study is to explore superannuation fund members’ perceptions of ESG investing by their funds in order to identify reasons for the lack of demand. Design/methodology/approach – An on-line survey was developed and distributed to assess possible reasons why members do not select ESG investment options. In total, 549 Australian superannuation fund members responded to the survey. Findings – Results indicate that the majority of superannuation fund members are interested in ESG investing. Members lack awareness of their fund’s approach to ESG investing, and they do not perceive there to be a financial penalty from ESG investing. Finally, members show a preference for consideration of governance issues over both social and environmental issues. Research limitations/implications – Respondents are well educated and the majority did not choose their superannuation fund. There was no measure of financial literacy included in the research instrument. There is also a general limitation in surveying superannuation fund members when they lack knowledge about superannuation. Practical implications – The results indicate that superannuation members are interested in both superannuation and ESG investing. Given the low take-up of ESG investment options, this finding raises the question of how effectively funds are engaging their members. Social implications – The results should be of interest to superannuation funds and may lead to renewed interest in promoting ESG products. Originality/value – This is the first study to examine superannuation members’ attitudes and behaviours towards ESG investing in the context of superannuation. The study also adds to our understanding of member decision-making in the $1.8 trillion superannuation industry.

Abstract:

We study whether ESG investing may mitigate the risk of contagion among equity mutual funds. More precisely, we measure the impact of fire-sale spillover, propagating throughout the financial system, on funds ranked on ESG aspects. We compare the relative loss of capitalization experienced by high- and low-ranked funds. Contagion, which is indirect since funds are not exposed to counterparty risk, is modeled using a network structure. In cases of deleveraging from funds, fire-sale spillover propagates throughout the network because of common asset holdings among funds. We find that funds’ vulnerability to contagion decreases when the level of ESG compliance increases. Moreover, the average relative loss is lower for the high-ranked funds than for the low-ranked ones. The small-size funds mainly drive the result. Our findings indicate that contagion is less effective for high-ranked funds. From a macroeconomic perspective, ESG investing represents a new opportunity for diversification that makes the system more resilient to contagion.

Abstract:

The article examined three widely accepted approaches to sustainable investing: Socially Responsible Investing (SRI), Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), and impact investing. Nevertheless, these sustainable investment strategies are under-institutionalised, characterised by a lack of consistent terminology and mixed return performance. Given that these inconsistencies are prevalent in academic research regarding sustainable investing, the paper aimed to perform a systematic review of related studies to compare, contrast and consolidate these sustainable investment approaches. The findings of this study reveal overlapping conceptual frameworks between SRI, ESG and impact investing. The paper recommends the development of a consistent conceptual framework for sustainable investing.

Abstract:

We analyse how ESG scores affect future returns when environmental issues receive higher media coverage. Investors might take environmental aspects into account if they are confronted with the issue of global warming more frequently in the press. We assess the prevalence of environmental issues in the media with a machine learning-based Structural Topic Modelling (STM) methodology, using a news archive published in the USA. Running Fama-MacBeth regressions, we find that in periods when the media actively report on environmental issues, ESG scores have a significant negative impact on future returns, whereas, in months when fewer such articles are published, investors do not take sustainability measures into account, and ESG scores have no explanatory power.

Abstract:

ESG investing has recently been growing in popularity but the range of investment products available could still be widened. One possible approach is a combination of ESG ratings and the smart beta strategy that modifies index weighting based on a factor; thus, it contains elements from both active and passive fund management. The hypothetical funds created in this paper using this method achieved returns of over 50 per cent between 2015 and 2019, while the benchmark EURO STOXX 50 only provided a 19 per cent profit for investors during the five-year period. ESG ratings were found to be significant as a variable, suggesting that they can influence returns but other factors such as size or earnings growth have higher explanatory power. Also, while currently the possibilities for ESG investments are limited in Hungary, market players are starting to realise the potential of ESG, and with the suggested approach new investors could be attracted by funds

Abstract:

AbstractESG investing evolved over time from the earlier concept of CSR. The process of evolution moved the focus from the external impact of corporate activities to the risk and return implications for financial investors of failing to address ESG issues in their portfolio selection and corporate engagement. The bridge between the two approaches was the framing of sustainability in the early part of the millennium as an overarching concept that could be mapped onto the supply of capital and the techniques employed by institutional investors. The financial model of ESG investing is now the standard approach around the world and is reflected in ESG ratings, codes, guidance and regulatory rules. It focuses on the role of capital and investors in driving change in sustainability practices and pays much less attention to the role of board decision-making and directors’ fiduciary duties. In this research, we trace the origins and trajectory of this change in emphasis from CSR to ESG and attempt to explain why it occurred. We identify shortcomings in the financial model of ESG investing and propose an alternative ‘entity’ model, which we argue would more effectively promote sustainability in the corporate sector around the world.

Abstract:

Socially responsible investing is becoming more popular among people because people are becoming more concerned about the environment and society. Socially responsible investors screen the company by considering the ESG factors. The question raced is whether socially responsible investing improves the portfolio performance and how the funds perform during uncertain times like the Covid-19 pandemic. Since many critics of ESG funds say that the ESG funds’ performance highly depends on Software and Service company stocks, so the relevance of Software and Service companies in the fund has been analyzed in this research. The portfolios have been formed by using the Markowitz mean-variance portfolio model, and the performance of the minimum variance portfolio has been studied. The fund performance has been analyzed using the Sharpe ratio, and the result concludes that the ESG fund performance with minimum variance has an abnormally high Sharpe Ratio of 10.8. A similar type of performance was identified during the Covid-19 pandemic. The abnormally high Sharpe ratio will encourage investors to move towards socially responsible investing.

Abstract:

One of the major elements of the sustainable development policies is the socially responsible investing (SRI), also called ESG investing (environmental, social, and corporate governance) or green investing. The key feature of SRI (ESG investments), which distinguishes it from the other forms of raising capital, is the focus on priority financing of environmental and social projects providing long-term positive effects and consequences for society (the wellbeing of an individual and the nation), the environment (including climate), regional and global economies. The research aims to study ESG-investments’ influence on the Russian economy, specifically, the exchange-traded funds (ETF) industry. The research methodology includes structuring, comparison, generalization, economic analysis, induction, deduction and synthesis. The results of include analysis of the foundations of socially responsible investments, the concepts, and factors of ESG investments. Also, the global and Russian ESG markets are explored, including ESG-exchange traded funds industry, its features, structure and trends. Based on the research, the author concludes that the Russian market for ESG instruments is only developing. However, interest in this category of financial instruments is growing among investors, which is facilitated by the policy pursued by the national regulator (the Bank of Russia), which encourages the introduction of ESG practices by Russian issuers of securities.

Abstract:

One of the most dynamic trends in the development of the modern market of financial investments is ESG investing. Investing which is based on the inclusion of Environmental, Social and Governance criteria into consideration. In this case, there is an actual problem of analysis mapping ESG criteria with investment risk management. This article considers specific features of inclusion ESG assessments into investment risk management. For this purpose, the S&P Global system of ESG scores was used. The assessments of market risk for both direct and portfolio investments were considered. The dichotomy between the approaches of diversification and prioritization based on ESG criteria had been identified. The article offers expansion of portfolio risk management within the framework of a three-criteria optimization model (risk, return, and ESG score based criteria). The article justifies the investment decision on the basis of construction of an effective set of pair “risk – ESG score” which provides an analogue of the classical frontier line in modern portfolio theory. The implementation of this approach was carried out to the companies included into stock index baskets of three Central and Eastern European (CEE) stock markets: Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary.

Abstract:

Socially responsible investing (SRI) seeks to combine financial returns with social and environmental performance. In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, SRI is seen as an alternative way to maintain sustainable returns. This article attempts to assess the impact of COVID-19 on the performance of socially responsible stocks. In other words, we test the resilience of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) oriented companies’ stock prices to the global crisis, and compare it with the performance of selected non-ESG stocks. To do so, we focus on companies listed on the Moroccan, the Egyptian and the Turkish stock exchanges. We use the event study methodology, which relies mainly on calculating the daily abnormal returns of each company and aggregating them over an event window to test their statistical significance. The results reveal that all the companies listed on these three stock exchanges suffered from the COVID-19 crisis, posting negative abnormal returns. However, the ESG oriented companies listed on the Turkish stock exchange were more resilient compared to non-ESG companies. Sustainable investing underperformed non-ESG investing in Morocco and Egypt, as ESG oriented companies posted more pronounced negative abnormal returns, compare to non-ESG companies. So, unlike Turkey, ESG oriented companies were less portfolio protective alternative during the crisis in Morocco and Egypt.

Abstract:

Recent disasters have emphasized the need for further action to protect businesses and society from long-term sustainability threats. We believe that the crisis is hastening nascent ESG trends, and that the increased focus on a company’s environmental and social impact will last long after crises have passed. We refined three fundamental concepts that guide our thinking on investing based on environmental, social, and governance factors as our approach to sustainable investing has evolved. The ESG factor assessments are more of an inherent aspect of a sound investment process than a separate investment discipline. When ESG variables are considered, the focus is on long-term risk adjusted investment returns. Investors should choose the strategy that best matches with their goals and interests. ESG investing is not a simple yes or no answer. The research gap extracted from the previous studies is to determine the relationship among the influencing factors of ESG and its priority with their driving and dependence capabilities. We used an ISM Approach to uncover the interrelationships and influencing behavior among the elements for considering ESG in investment after conducting a thorough literature research and consulting with experts. Here interpretive structural modeling (ISM) was used to explore the links among such extracted factors and its interdependencies. There was also focus on the short-term and long-term factors to achieve our desired objective. Our research will assist businesses in attracting and obtaining finance. The results of this analysis will be helpful for leaders to understand the impact of ESG on the investment aspects of an organization.

Abstract:

Recently, there is a growing interest in investing in ways that might eliminate global warming; therefore, a number of studies promote the idea of ESG investing. The current study presents the latest discourses on the interpretation of investment and the role of social aspects in terms of investing in ESG. The topicality of the particular study is justified by the fact that food sector investors and other market participants use ESG information through ESG ratings, which, among social factors, include on-the-job training as an important indicator of a company’s sustainability. This study was based on a mixed-methods methodology that combines qualitative and quantitative research methods in consistent methodological steps. Based on the research of a wide range of scientific literature and the results of focus group interviews with industry practitioners, the authors have explored ESG implementation issues in European food sector enterprises to identify how food sector companies can strengthen their ESG performance by developing practical on-the-job training in waste management. This study has posed a research question: What skills should be integrated in on-the-job training programs in contemporary waste management in food industry enterprises? The research results present a systematized structure that integrates explicit and tacit knowledge, skills and competence that were acknowledged as topical in developing on-the-job training programs for food industry enterprises.

Abstract:

The paper is based on the increased importance of environmental, social, and governance factors in the present-day investing, especially in the COVID-19 pandemic period. The increased trends are not only witnessed in developed economies but also evident in developing economics like India. The possible reasons are attributable to enhanced risk awareness and sensitivity of institutional investors towards ESG issues, thereby, leading to price discovery of ESG factors through increased integration in investment portfolios. The need for prioritizing social investments is clear, especially after the onset of the pandemic. However, the major barriers appear to be lack of relevant knowledge on ESG issues and apathy of investors in formulating an ESG investing framework. The paper provides certain insights on the present-day ESG frameworks and principles that can be adopted by financial managers and asset management companies to generate better risk adjusted returns.

Abstract:

Environment, social, and governance (ESG) criteria have become important in investment and risk management in recent years. ESG-mandated investment has also been trending among investors. In Malaysia, the ESG-related index known as the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia (F4GBM) index was first launched in December 2014. This index prompted fund managers to use the benchmark as a measure of performance. However, there has been a lack of research on ESG-related pension funds. Hence, this study examines the impact of ESG investing on the investment portfolio of the Malaysian civil service pension fund. This pension fund is managed by the Retirement Fund Incorporated (Kumpulan Wang Persaraan Perbadanan; KWAP). Using quarterly data from 2017Q3 to 2022Q3, our results show, first, that KWAP has had a higher proportion of ESG-rated securities than of non-ESG-rated securities over the last five years. Secondly, ESG-rated stocks provide higher returns than non-rated stocks in KWAP's portfolio. Thirdly, ESG-rated securities have lower risk levels than non-ESG-rated securities. This study also found that ESG-rated securities provide a higher return per unit of risk relative to non-ESG-rated stocks. As a policy implication, ESG-rated investment has impacted the pension fund by providing higher returns and lower risk. This study contributes to the awareness of the benefits of ESG investing among state-funded pension schemes.

Abstract:

Stakeholders realise the value and impact of Responsible Investment (RI) upon making informed decisions about investments. Due to this, more organisations are pressured to report on RI performances and put positive and/or negative strategies in place to address ESG issues and to implement ESG policies into the primary strategy of their operations. There are many governments and organisations globally which support sustainable investment and as one such administration, South Africa has legislated to manage RI issues (www.gov.za). Recognition is given to the both CRISA and PRI as well as taking the integrated environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations into the investment decision making process into consideration when assisting in identifying, managing and mitigating potential ESG risks to achieve sustainable long-term investment outcomes.

Abstract:

We analyze the connectivity of equity investments to the firms in the global ownership network that are reported as non-compliant with Environment, Social, and Government (ESG) benchmarks. We find that a large number of shareholders have ownership linkages to non-ESG firms, most commonly with three or four degrees of separation. Analyzing the betweenness centrality for shareholders connecting the ultimate owners and non-ESG firms, we find that the investment management companies play important roles in channeling the investment money into non-ESG firms, where largest American asset managers commonly have one to two degrees of separation on their ownership linkages to those problematic firms. Since asset managers collect capital from investors by running the equity funds, we analyze the ownership stakes and the associated voting rights attributable to the equity funds investors. We estimate the distribution of the power of corporate control over non-ESG firms among specific asset managers (such as BlackRock and Fidelity) and among different types of the equity funds (such as mutual funds and exchanged-traded funds), and explores how investing in the equity funds rather than ownership investing may have shifted the distribution of the power to control those non-ESG firms.

Abstract:

The article states that the traditional model of economic growth of metallurgy due to the export of energy-intensive products no longer works, new impulses and effective tools are needed to transform the current model of economic growth to the latest model – the model of low-carbon production. Emphasis is placed on the importance of ESG-investment in the process of transformation to a low-carbon economy and its impact on the competitiveness of enterprises. It is substantiated that the introduction of ESG-investment requires the formation of a certain regulatory environment, and accordingly to clarify the substantive component of this concept and its operationalization, bringing the concept to a form that will work with it on a practical level, operate it in solving specific analytical and forecasting tasks, verify or refute research hypotheses. The author’s definition of ESG investing is proposed as an investment aimed at minimizing ESG risks, reducing environmental pollution to levels that do not harm human health and natural ecosystems, as well as strengthening social responsibility and improving corporate governance. It is substantiated that Ukraine’s delay in ratifying international regulations on the introduction of ESG-investing and ignoring the world experience in creating a regulatory environment for investing in ESG-principles threatens metallurgical enterprises with the loss of investors and, accordingly, competitive positions in the global metal market. Using specific examples from world experience, the need to recognize the standardization of reporting on the impact of business on climate and environment, one of the priority issues in the formation of the regulatory environment of ESG-investment. An arsenal of effective measures for the formation of the regulatory environment of ESG-investment, the introduction of which in domestic practice will allow to make effective and optimal management decisions to maintain the position of domestic metallurgical enterprises in the TOP-10 leading countries in metal production.
