At Novus Capital, we believe enterprise is the catalyst to realizing our vision for the future. So we forge connections between investors, industry leaders and companies committed to incorporating ESG (environmental, social and governance) initiatives into their business strategies. It’s value creation in the truest sense of the term.
BEYOND THE BOTTOM LINE
ESG investing analyzes stocks for environmental, social and corporate governance impact in addition to traditional metrics of profitability and scalability. This values-driven investment philosophy allows a shareholder to ensure their portfolio reflects their vision for the future. Five key trends shaping the ESG footprint are:
Climate Change
As the world transitions to clean-energy economies, climate solutions will be increasingly attractive investments.
Water Management
Water pollution and shortages due to industrialization and agricultural uses have created a serious scarcity. Resource stewardship and innovation will be key to addressing this issue.
Biodiversity
A robust number of life forms — plants, animals, fungi and microorganisms — are vital to the health of the ecosystem.
Human Rights
Due diligence with regard to trade union leaders, workers, indigenous communities and other groups can improve supply chain resilience while fulfilling moral obligations.
Governance Policies
Transparency regarding board diversity, business ethics, lobbying practices and executive pay are crucial to ensuring business operations run smoothly at each stage.
