- Use of quantitative rules to define eligible investment universe
- Best-in-class approach for issuer selection
- Engagement with companies to improve transparency and ESG performance
- Collaboration with data providers (Moody's ESG Solutions, Sustainalytics, S&P Global, Carbone 4, Iceberg Data Lab, CBRE Conseil & Transaction) to improve data quality and coverage
- Redesigning questionnaires to improve response rates
- Development of internal training programs on ESG and climate-related issues
