DNCA , a leading European equity manager, developed its own ESG rating model in 2018, called Above & Beyond Analysis (ABA). This model analyzes its portfolios by rating issuers according to ESG criteria focused on two complementary concepts: Corporate social responsibilityand the sustainable transition. This approach has been complementedby a proprietary impact analysis model that seeks to generate significant and measurable positive environmental and social impacts in addition to maximizingfinancial returns. The model assesses a Company’s ability to meet three requirements: additionality (adding value to the market or regulation), intentionality (integration of the Company’s strategy) and measurability (using relevant comparable data). For the time being, this analysis only applies for the management of the DNCA Invest Beyond Semperosa fund. Dedicated impact reporting (1) is published each year.
