    Study Notes

    ESG Scores Overview

    • ESG scores evaluate a company's Environmental, Social, and Governance performance relative to its peers.
    • A poor ESG rating indicates higher exposure to unmanaged ESG risks.
    • Good ESG ratings showcase effective management of environmental, social, and governance risks.

    ESG Financial Ecosystem

    • ESG financial ecosystem comprises a chain of financial intermediaries (issuers, rating providers, asset managers, institutional investors, and end investors).
    • Issuers include companies disclosing relevant ESG information.
    • Rating providers rate ESG issuers.
    • Asset managers construct and market ESG products like funds and ETFs.
    • Institutional investors manage assets considering ESG factors.
    • End investors are the ultimate beneficiaries of ESG investments.
    • Rules and requirements for ESG disclosure exist, including exchanges, self-monitoring entities, and regulators.
    • Ethical standards set by international bodies (OECD, UN) guide conduct and societal values.

    Raw and Refined Data

    • Analyst-driven ESG research creates structured data models.
    • Data is collected, processed, and analyzed for score/rating generation.
    • Data mining and technology, including AI, plays a role in extracting signals from unstructured data.
    • Algorithms are utilized for score/rating generation.

    A Complex Data Ecosystem

    • Sustainability reports, corporate governance reports, and financial statements are raw data sources used to create ESG ratings.
    • NGOs and media contribute information which may involve controversies about corporations.
    • Intermediaries (rating agencies, data providers, rankings, and indexes) transform raw data.
    • Broker/analysts and asset managers analyze ESG data and present it to investors.
    • Investors (e.g., pension funds) use this information in their investment decisions.

    Data Service

    • Bloomberg launched a new data offering on their Terminal to collate ESG data from companies aligned with the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
    • The offering is usable via a data license for scalable enterprise-wide use.
    • Bloomberg's CSRD offering maps the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) to their existing data fields.

    ESG Scores (Third-party)

    • Third-party vendors (Moody's, ISS, MSCI, Sustainalytics, S&P Global) specialize in generating ESG ratings.
    • These vendors often have unique evaluation criteria and do not follow standardized frameworks.
    • Generally, they are compensated by investors instead of issuers.

    What Are ESG Scores?

    • Good ESG ratings mean a company manages environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks well compared to peers.
    • Companies get ratings based on a standardized score system (with different ranges).
    • These ratings reflect a company's exposure to risks from the ESG perspective.
    • LAGGARDS have high risks and poor management.
    • LEADERS have minimal risks and proper management.

    Rating Agencies

    • Rating agencies evaluate financial market participants.
    • A standardized, comprehensive list of financially material ESG issues doesn't exist.
    • Agencies use various criteria to assess companies, causing differences in scores.
    • They consider financial materiality, which is different for each industry.
    • Financial risk and reputation are assessed.
    • Their evaluation criteria can be influenced by investor needs.

    Major Rating Agencies

    • Major players (e.g., ISS ESG, MSCI ESG, Sustainalytics, Thomson Reuters, Vigeo-Eiris) offer ESG ratings.
    • Other players (e.g. Beyond Ratings, Bloomberg ESG, RobecoSAM, Refinitiv, TrueValue Labs) complete the ESG ratings landscape.
    • Specialized climate data providers (e.g., CDP, Trucost) contribute to the field.

    Methodology and Data for ESG Scores

    • ESG ratings depend on materiality (identifying crucial issues).
    • Data collection ("data harvesting") from different sources is involved.
    • Multiple rating agencies often have discrepancies in ESG scores for the same company.
    • Ratings consider financial materiality across different industries and are based on specific criteria.
    • Scores consider a range of factors.

    Controversies on ESG Scores

    • ESG controversies often focus on social issues.
    • Ratings are based on perceived/assessed impacts on society and companies' responses to controversies.
    • Controversies can have a significant impact on companies, and often arise from issues that may seem unrelated to the core business of the company (e.g., human rights, environment).
    • Avoiding controversy can significantly improve a company's performance (e.g., share price).

    Data Evolution

    • ESG data is evolving with new needs and advancements (e.g., AI).
    • The ecosystem of ESG data providers is changing, with possible disintermediation of traditional providers due to the use of more standardised data.
    • The standardisation of sustainability reporting is a key factor in these developments.

    Banking Sector

    • The Banking sector is criticised for various reasons, often linked to financial activity.
    • This criticism often involves accusations of unethical practices.

    Oil Sector

    • Oil companies are currently criticized, largely related to ecological issues, during the ecological transition period of our society.
    • Investor concerns related to oil companies may create reputational and financial risks.

    Pharmaceutical Sector

    • The pharmaceutical industry is criticized about its high-pricing strategies, controversial products' side effects, and the increasing cost of development.
    • There are substantial risks linked to R&D, in the industry.

    Inconsistent ESG Ratings

    • Several ESG rating agencies frequently use different methodologies and weight factors, leading to inconsistent ratings.

    Takeaways

    • The pharmaceutical industry is increasingly exposed to financially material ESG risks but remains profitable.
    • ESG rating agencies display differing evaluation criteria and standards with no common assessment for the sector, making the assessment for the whole industry inconsistent.
    • Many SRI portfolios seem to include pharmaceutical companies without a strong focus or reliance on their CSR and/or sustainability records.

    Ratings Correlations

    • Different methodologies (divergence in issue scope, measurement and weights) produce diversified ESG scores from various ratings agencies.
