The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) does not carry out negative screening to exclude companies and sectors that do not comply with environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards so that the pension scheme will not miss good investment opportunities, said its Asian operations head.
For ESG investing, the CPPIB, or CPP Investments, selects companies based on its analyses of the correlation between ESG factors and the company s financial results, as well as on the estimated risk-adjusted returns that factor in ESG matters.
