There is clearly some strong momentum in this field. At NN Investment Partners we also recently conducted a study, together with research institute ECCE, which showed that focussing on absolute ESG scores, from the likes of Sustainalytics, doesn't contribute to outperformance but that actually looking at the momentum/change in these ESG scores does lead to better investment results. Futhermore, excluding controversial companies from your investment universe does add to performance, contrary to conventional belief. All in all some interesting outcomes and I am looking forward to more research in this field so we can continue to improve investment performance for clients !
