Fund Provider Response

We invest in fossil fuel companies because energy is an essential resource for modern life, and we believe it is better to invest in the companies that are relative ESG leaders in the sector rather than ignoring the sector entirely.
We take a holistic approach to assessing a company's prospective ESG leadership, including the carbon intensity of current oil production facilities, initiatives to reduce this carbon intensity to help meet net zero goals, capital allocation policies including for green energy initiatives, and ESG scores on both the MSCI and Sustainalytics ratings scales.
