ESG Research: Sustainable Integration
Finance and sustainability are not mutually exclusive. At Degroof Petercam, we believe the future of our societies depends on the convergence of financial and social interests. As sell-side analysts in the Global Markets division, we play a crucial role in this integration.

We are convinced that financial analysis alone does not reflect the reality in which companies operate.

Guiding and

Raising Awareness

We assist our clients in incorporating ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) into their investment strategies. Part of our mission is also to raise awareness among the companies we cover.

Objective:

setting the benchmark for ESG

At Global Markets, our goal is to be the benchmark for ESG. We integrate sustainability into all our operations, setting an example to support our customers and society in the ecological transition.
Sustainable. stories. ESG Research
In 2023, we published a report analysing the ESG performance of 61 companies.

Two main areas of focus

Our efforts are concentrated on two main areas:
1.
Integrating ESG into sell-side research: for over three years, we have evaluated the ESG performance of the companies we cover. Our approach combines quantitative and qualitative analysis to define an ESG score.
2.
Commitment to sustainable trading: we actively engage in developing ESG 'best practices' with other financial sector players and then implement these 'best practices' in our business lines.
