Buildings account for about 40% of greenhouse gas emissions in the US. So improving the energy efficiency and carbon footprint of those buildings is critical to addressing climate change. It's also a great way to improve the net operating income of a building, if you have lower energy usage, lower water usage and more ability to successfully deal with waste produced.
Our ESG Impact Assessment approach looks at how issuers impact the environment and society. We are looking at their business activities, their products, their practices and what these do to the environment, the society and the planet as a whole.

There’s still no single one-size-fits-all approach to ESG across asset classes, or even within a single asset class. Investors have to strike a balance in developing a robust approach, integrating ESG in a way that remains authentic to their investment process.
