Sustainability data are provided by at least one of the following sustainability data providers: The Upright Project, MSCI ESG Research, Physis Investment and Bloomberg. The choice to have multiple sustainability data providers is driven by the objective of reducing data inconsistency issues.
The selection of external sustainability data providers is based, among others, on their data quality verification processes, in order to ensure, to the maximum possible extent, that sustainability data are as reliable as allowed by market standards.
Actual and estimated Taxonomy alignment data are provided by external sustainability data providers. Owing to current limited availability of standardised EU Taxonomy alignment data, both actual and estimated data will be used to measure investment-level EU Taxonomy alignment. Estimated EU Taxonomy alignment can be subject to a certain degree of uncertainty, which is expected to decrease over time, mainly due to an evolving regulatory framework and limited corporate disclosure on EU Taxonomy alignment. EU Taxonomy alignment data are calculated on a revenue basis. Whenever available, actual EU Taxonomy data are preferred.
