ESG Investing
BBY works hard to produce outstanding research for our clients in order for them to make better investment decisions. We understand that Environmental, Social and Governance issues (ESG) can impact the financial performance of a company over the longer term, and subsequently, the returns delivered to our clients.
The Analysts at BBY take into account factors that are often ignored in more traditional approaches to analysis; pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, Board non-independence, health, safety and well-being to name a few. Our team of Analysts include ESG assessment in their everyday stock coverage and monitoring.
