Emerald's ESG Investing Pillars
- Analyses: Our ESG framework examines systemic risks that investors may not consider when evaluating quantitative earnings models.
- Product Development: Our ESG investing team is committed to deep research and developing a wide range of sustainable investment options.
- Knowledge and Education: We do the necessary research and analysis before making any investment decision. Our investment teams use tools like proprietary ESG data sets and bottom-up analysis to assess a company's sustainability profile.
- Active Supervision: A wise holding today may not be a wise holding in the future. We regularly measure and supervise the company opportunities and risks by engaging in management team meetings before making a decision.

The principles outlined reflect the values, processes, and commitments we adhere to while managing the company's assets and investors' fund.
Proxy Voting
