Quantifying impacts of SRI valuations


CoreRatings and SG Equity Research form exclusive partnership

SG Equity Research and CoreRatings have collaborated on a new innovative report which seeks to assess the potential impact of SRI on share price performance. In an exclusive agreement, SG Equity Research has used a subset of CoreRatings’ data to quantify the impact of SRI valuations.

A total of 200 European companies in 15 sectors are ranked. The SRI score highlights each competitive advantage/disadvantage relative to the sector average. CoreRatings’ analysis focuses on sectoral long-term risk and this report is unique in that SG Equity Research has used and re-weighted CoreRatings’ data to calculate the potential impact of SRI over a short-term 2-3 year scale. The potential impact of SRI risks on fair values has been assessed using betas.
