Retail, aerospace and defence, personal goods and financial services remain the investment sectors most likely to trigger negative ESG coverage, according to new analysis by asset manager Robeco.
More than 80% of the 1,139 portfolio companies the firm screened through intelligence provider RepRisk were found to face low reputational risk levels as of March 2018, with the remainder classified as moderately at risk.
