Compliance Kempen & Co Securities

Corporate social responsibility in Securities

ESG criteria, the guiding principles for research

Screening for compliance with the environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria forms an integral part of our share selection process. The same ESG criteria are applied in the Securities research reports.

Speciality

Securities focuses on securities broking drawing on specialist knowledge of the niche segments of Benelux shares, real estate and life sciences, as well as the recent addition of the cleantech market. Our highly skilled experts prepare independent, in-depth analyses of countries and markets, and conduct interviews with companies. Based on the results, they prepare research reports for clients – in many cases large investment funds, pension funds and asset management companies. 

Screening

In preparing our analyses, we adhere to the Kempen Capital Management screening policy. For this purpose, we have engaged the services of an external agency, GES, an approved and reputable Swedish agency specializing in screening companies and investment funds for compliance with the ESG criteria for sustainability in aspects pertaining to the environment, social policy and governance. 

Compliance

Any sign of any company’s transgression of the ESG limits will immediately be picked up, and Kempen & Co will be notified without delay. This will prompt Kempen & Co into entering into dialogue with the company’s management board on the ESG limits in dispute. Securities will report this in their research report. For instance, if a company fails to meet the environmental criteria, Securities will mention this in their report, as well as the fact that action was taken by Kempen & Co or GES. 

Sectors

In 2011, cleantech was added to the three existing core activities of Securities, Benelux shares, real estate and life sciences. The experts of Securities focus their attention on the four segments mentioned, drawing on their industry-specific expertise. Access to the Kempen & Co Securities research reports is restricted to clients only. The sector-specific knowledge contained within these reports will subsequently help our clients to make the right investment decisions.
