What is Our Idea?
Delivering Long term value from ESG
36
Quantums ESG Approach
36

• Our analysis is guided by the materiality of the
  issues
• Governance sits at the heart of our analysis
• Typically focus on areas such as capital
  allocation, board composition, quality of
• disclosures and treatment of minority
  shareholders
• Shortcomings go hand in hand with poor
  performance on the social and environmental
  fronts, making it a good proxy for wider problems
• Identify companies that can act as long term
  stewards of capital

37
Approach to ESG Evaluation
37
Proprietary research
Scoring system
Data Sources
(Blended Approach)

• Business Responsibility Reports (BRR) and
  annual reports
• Sustainability Accounting Standards Board
  (SASB) publications

• Industry associations (WBCSD, WRI)
• News reports
• Management interaction

Company disclosures (30 weight) Companies are
evaluated on their levels of disclosures
provided in their sustainability reports /
business responsibility reports / annual
reports. Companies with higher disclosures get
higher scores.

• Company disclosures
• Binary scoring systems 1 for disclosure, 0 for
  non disclosure
• Scores standardized from 0
• (minimum) to 100 (maximum)

• Qualitative factors
• Negative scoring system Dependent on relative
  performance v/s peers or v/s national / global
  regulations
