The purpose of this approach to ESG engagement is to ensure that all providers adopt the practice of ESG reporting and provide transparent and comparable information that can be used to make specific investment decisions.

The key figures are based on publicly available information from third-party providers on the reporting date. Not all third-party providers publish information, which is why the degree of coverage is not necessarily 100%. The calculation methods are harmonised. This leads to retrospective corrections, which we apply in each case.
