Sustainability at DJE
Sustainability as part of a long-term investment approach
Our understanding of sustainability
We believe that sustainability considerations can play an important role in the assessment of companies and markets. Environmental, social and corporate governance factors may influence opportunities and risks and are therefore relevant to long-term investment decisions.
Against this backdrop, sustainability aspects are taken into account as a complementary element of our investment process. They are incorporated as an additional analytical perspective and assessed in the context of the respective business model and corporate situation.
Responsibility within the investment process
Within the investment process, sustainability aspects are embedded in a broader analytical framework. They are considered alongside company-specific qualitative and quantitative factors and are not assessed in isolation.
Environmental, social and governance topics are evaluated in the context of the respective corporate and market environment in order to gain a deeper understanding of long-term opportunities and risks.
The specific design and consideration of sustainability-related aspects may vary depending on the product, strategy and regulatory framework.
Robust data foundation
A solid data foundation is an important prerequisite for our analyses. We use the results of MSCI ESG Research LLC, a leading provider of environmental, social and governance analyses and ratings, and complement these with our own in-house analyses. External information serves as an additional source of insight and supports our qualitative assessments.
ESG Committee
DJE Kapital AG has established an internal ESG Committee that supports the firm-wide investment process with regard to ESG-related matters. The interdisciplinary committee contributes to the ongoing development of ESG-related processes and supports compliance with relevant sustainability requirements across the organisation.
Its responsibilities include quality assurance, the monitoring and optimisation of technical and operational processes, as well as the handling of regulatory matters in an ESG context.
UNPRI
DJE is a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), which are supported by the United Nations. The PRI are an international investor initiative that encourages the integration of environmental, social and governance considerations into long-term investment decision-making.
