How We Do It
RiverRock’s responsible investment strategy is grounded in a systematic approach that includes:
-
ESG Screening: We apply both exclusionary criteria and a best-in-class approach. We avoid industries or sectors with negative social or environmental impacts, such as those involving controversial weapons or poor labour practices.
-
Double ESG Rating System: We have developed an in-house double ESG rating system to measure the sustainability opportunity and risk management of each investment. This allows us to evaluate the positive impacts of investments on factors like poverty, CO2 emissions and social equality, while also tracking the performance and evolution of ESG risk management.
-
Active Stewardship: We engage directly with companies to ensure adherence to high ESG standards. This includes monitoring their progress on sustainability goals through KPIs aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
-
Ongoing Monitoring & Reporting: We conduct regular assessments and updates on the ESG ratings of our portfolio, ensuring that all investments maintain compliance with our ESG criteria.
