Guide: ESG case studies

In these quarterly updates we showcase three examples of socially responsible companies to which investors gain exposure.

Q1 2023 update.

The EQ Future Leaders Portfolios invest in the sustainability leaders of tomorrow. The core of the portfolios invests in businesses that are strong performers when measured on environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria. They also invest in sustainable sectors, such as clean energy, healthcare, and green bonds.

Our quarterly updates feature examples of these companies and funds – here we will focus on three:

  • ESG Leader: Ferguson
  • ESG Leader: American Express
  • Sustainable Theme – digital security: Qualys

ESG focus

The portfolios are designed to target companies with positive ESG characteristics:

  • Environmental: how a company performs as a steward of our natural environment.
  • Social: how a company treats people, such as its employees, its customers, and its local community.
  • Governance: how the business polices itself by integrating policies to prevent corruption and ensure a high governing standard.
