  7. Regulators in a number of Jurisdictions are Mandating Asset Owners to Focus more on ESG Integration  United Kingdom: Pensions Regulator published a new Code that encourages trustees to take into account risks that affect the long-term sustainability of investments  South Africa: 2011 Amendment to the Pension Funds Act states that “Prudent investing should give appropriate consideration to environmental, social and governance factors”  EU agreement on sustainable investment disclosure framework + EU Taxonomy  Institutions required to integrate ESG into their portfolios and disclose in a consistent way how they invest  Investment managers, insurers and advisors to inform plan participants how their activities are impacting the environment  India: SEBI introduced Stewardship Code in July 2020; Introducing new format for Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting.

  8. Negative News gets Easily Highlighted on Social Media Without social media, social, ethical, environmental ills would have minimal visibility. Increased visibility of issues has shifted the balance of power from the hands of governments and corporates to the masses.

  9. Gradual Evolution from a Stockholder to a Stakeholder Greater emphasis on ESG factors, which play out over a long horizon, may provide a counterweight to the constant pressure on companies to maximize near-term earnings Quarterly Capitalism Sustainable Capitalism  The mandate to maximize short-term shareholder value or Quarterly Capitalism has driven a deep wedge between business and society  CEOs have little reason to think about the social and environmental consequences of their actions. And the result – whether in oil spills or credit derivatives – brings devastation far beyond the company's own shareholders  The long term success of any company depends on the health and wellbeing of its employees, customers, and the communities in which it operates “Quarterly capitalism is short-term, myopic, greedy and dysfunctional” -Will Hutton, British economist

  10. What is ESG?

  15. 15 G for Governance In India, 15 of the top 20 business groups are family- owned Credit Rating Agencies (CRAs) behind the curve “Dependent” independent directors Audit crisis of 2018 Auditors of over 204 listed firms resigned* The comparable figure for 2016-17 was just 18! CRAs have repeatedly failed to alert investors about impending defaults be it the case of IL&FS, Zee Group or DHFL Are independent directors really independent? Or are they friends and family? Governance issues are more common in promoter led companies *as per filings in the MCA 21 registry

  16. India Could Adversely Impact Global Emissions % % increase in GHG emissions attributed to India Note: Global GHG emissions (2017) at 59,526 mn tonnes CO2e If India’s per capita emissions (2.7 tns / person) reach the levels of China (8.2) and USA (18.4), global CO2 emissions are estimated to increase by 12.5% and 35.4%, respectively (assuming no change in emissions for other countries)

  19. Opportunities exist for Companies to change as India adopts higher ESG standards • India’s commitments on UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and COP21 likely to push companies to achieve higher ESG standards. • The Companies Act 2013 introduced critical changes on corporate governance including board diversity and independence, conflicts of interest and rights of minority shareholders. • SEBI has tightened the Listing Agreement. • Business Responsibility Report mandated for top 1,000 listed companies currently under revision. • Evidence of more assertiveness by shareholders Better Governance • National Guidelines on Responsible Business Conduct, 2019 • CSR expenditure of 2% of profit mandated under the Companies Act 2013. • India’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Accord commits it to reduce the carbon intensity of its GDP by 33-35% by 2030 over 2005 levels. • Target of 175GW of renewables capacity by 2022, 40% of total generation capacity by 2030. • Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) scheme introduced for energy intensive industries. • Bharat Stage VI auto emission norms implemented in April 2020. • Extended producer responsibility mandated under E Waste Management Rules 2016. • Plastics Waste Management (Amendment) Rules, 2018.

  35. 35 Quantum’s ESG Approach Our analysis is guided by the materiality of the issues Governance sits at the heart of our analysis Typically focus on areas such as capital allocation, board composition, quality of disclosures and treatment of minority shareholders Shortcomings go hand in hand with poor performance on the social and environmental fronts, making it a good proxy for wider problems Identify companies that can act as long term stewards of capital

  36. 36 Approach to ESG Evaluation Proprietary research (Blended Approach) Scoring system Data Sources •Sustainability reports (GRI Framework) •Business Responsibility Reports (BRR) and annual reports •Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) publications •Pollution Control Board Filings •Industry associations (WBCSD, WRI) •News reports •Management interaction Company disclosures (30% weight) Companies are evaluated on their levels of disclosures provided in their sustainability reports / business responsibility reports / annual reports. Companies with higher disclosures get higher scores. Company disclosures •Binary scoring systems: +1 for disclosure, 0 for non disclosure •Scores standardized from 0 (minimum) to 100 (maximum) Qualitative factors •Negative scoring system: Dependent on relative performance v/s peers or v/s national / global regulations •Penalty for ESG non compliance •Scores standardized from 0 (maximum) to -100 (minimum) Qualitative factors (70% weight) •Evaluate companies on their ESG performance relative to their peers on material ESG aspects. •Check for any past violations / red flags of certain E&S metrics and corporate governance regulations Consolidated score •Ranges from +30 (maximum to -70 (minimum)
