Methology
We measure the sustainability of companies or investments by their sustainable return, which corrects traditional financial return by the costs and damages to society and the environment (“externalities”).
We estimate externalities using methods that have been developed and are being applied by the public sector, e.g. the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the EU Commission, and the World Bank. ( In Deutsch: Umweltbundesamt, EU Kommission, Weltbank) / Link zum Zeitstahlartikel
