Asset Management is the process of developing, operating, maintaining, and selling assets in an efficient and sustainable manner. The goal of this management is to maximize the value and performance of these assets throughout their lifecycle, as well as to optimize investment returns, reduce operating costs, and increase business sustainability. An important reason for acquiring the aforementioned knowledge is to position the business status for future investment and development plans for companies implementing the following processes.

In the creation of Asset Management, ESG evaluation (Environmental, Social, and Governance) is increasingly included as a critical element of the investment assessment process.

Asset managers now take into account:

  • Environmental risks (such as climate change),
  • Social factors (such as human rights and working conditions),
  • and governance factors (such as transparency, management, and ethical corporate behavior)

when evaluating whether to invest in a company, organization, or project.

Therefore, the ESG factors we now consider important are essential for evaluation:

  • Investors are seeking long-term sustainable returns.
  • Compliance with ESG criteria can reduce risks and increase investor confidence.
  • Regulatory bodies (such as the EU with SFDR and the EU Taxonomy) are pushing for transparency and the integration of ESG parameters.
