Investigated overall impact of CSR strategies on securities analysts recommendations (16yr horizon)
Examined perceptions of analysts on value creation (or value destruction) potential of CSR strategies
Initially, CSR strategies perceived as value-destructing. Later, CSR strengths seen as value-creating: shift from sell to buy recommendations
Higher ability analysts more likely to reward CSR strengths
ESG risks and project finance
www.icmm.com
International Finance Corporation (IFC) has set the standards for addressing ESG risks
IFC Performance Standards embraced by EPFIs – represents over 90% of project finance deals
Mining investments of over $26 bn between 2005 and 2009
Despite a dip in 2009, likelihood is that activity will increase
IFC Performance Standards under review – bar likely to be raised

Concluding remarks
www.icmm.com
“ESG analysis will benefit from improved reporting and corporate governance structures. But attention should also be paid to the need for improvements in the coherence and consistency of ESG analysis itself.”
ESG factors are increasingly a mainstream concern for investors
Not just buy-side analysts, but increasingly sell-side analysts who have an interest and influence
ESG factors will continue to grow in importance in terms of project finance and M&A activity
ICMM members demonstrate leadership in terms of ESG commitments and performance
