ESG has been buzzing around the investing lexicon for the better part of two decades now, and for good reason, because ESG Matters. What we explore in our most recent white paper is just how important ESG is in financial analysis and what we are thrilled to highlight is that High-ESG + High-EVA firms add Alpha.

Please join us for the latest ISS EVA & ISS ESG joint webinar series which will dive into the results of our most recent white paper, ESG Matters II. In the second part of the continued study, the ISS EVA team finds owning firms that combine High ESG Corporate ratings AND high levels of EVA Margin will generate alpha, as evidenced in the chart above. Additional findings in the paper show that rising ESG is correlated with improving fundamentals, ESG scores are trending upward, and that Environmental considerations specifically are becoming increasingly important to investors.
