The ESG.IAMA label is a recognition to the Asset Managers that accept the challenge of the ESG Identity Asset Manager Assessment.
Which is the label’s value?
It certifies the Asset Manager’s ability to expose itself on the three ESG areas and signals the activation of a serious path to transform and evolve its Identity through the ESG key. It is not an outcome stamp, but an indicator of consistency, commitment and vision.
Why a label?
The ESG.IAMA label was born within the path of the ESG Identity Asset Manager Assessment, a scientific project developed by ET.Group in 2022. The research is the first quantitative index that set out to measure the Asset Managers’ ESG Identity, which includes the set of distinctive elements of an entity, starting from its organizational structure (governance) to the ESG consistency and coherence of its products to the market, going through the ways in which the entity thinks (its ESG corporate culture) and engages on the sustainable front (its ESG purpose).
The results of the ESG.IAMA project have created great knowledge value.
- For the system, from the Asset Managers community to investors, because trend analysis allows for the development of dialogue, discussion, and the identification of trends and best practices.
- For the Asset Managers, because it allows them to have a tool to: 1. Implement awareness; 2. Develop internal alignment and comparison between functions; 3. Benchmark against other Asset Managers; 4. Develop benchmarking with themselves.
Today, the ESG.IAMA project has taken on the connotations of an indicator of the Asset Manager’s ESG Identity.
Therefore, it can also represent great value in terms of recognition for the Asset Managers.
That is why the ESG.IAMA label was created: it is an award for courage, commitment and the belief to be on the frontier of sustainability.
