ISS ESG

ISS ESG

Together with our cooperation partner ISS ESG, we are working on improving the availability of sustainability data in our sector. Our first visible successes have been achieved by financing several ESG ratings. The rating coverage for what is probably our best-known fund, the Bonafide Global Fish Fund, was roughly doubled and is now almost 100%. The long-term goal is now to increase the rating coverage of the entire investment portfolio and also bring it as close to 100% as possible. However, since ESG integration is still in its infancy and rating requirements are constantly changing, we expect this to be an ongoing process. Below you will find an illustration of the greatly improved availability for our largest fund, the Bonafide Global Fish Fund, and for the investment portfolio as a benchmark.

UN PRI

UN PRI

Together with its international network of signatories, the PRI initiative is dedicated to the practical implementation of the six principles for responsible investment. The goal is to improve understanding of the impacts of investment activities on environmental, social, and corporate governance issues, as well as to support signatories in integrating these considerations into their investment decisions.

FAIRR Investor Network

FAIRR Investor Network

FAIRR is a global network of investors working on ESG issues in protein supply chains.

There is ample evidence that environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues can have a significant impact on the financial performance of industrialized livestock companies. While the most visible effects come from short-term events, the financial performance of companies in this sector also depends on long-term ecological, social and regulatory trends, as well as the ability of companies to successfully anticipate and control this change.
