Corporates are Unfairly Treated in the Sustainability Pricing Process

At Susarb® , we are excited to give Corporates a chance to engage the world from a positive perspective.

Corporates have a unique opportunity using Full Market Disclosure and ESG Data is a Public Good to constructively engage their investors and stakeholders and generate exceptionally useful information that can greatly improve their disclosure.

Moreover, if Corporates use the Full Market Disclosure process to engage their suppliers and customers, this may prove to be an exceptional way to improve their Scope 3 reporting, not to mention building a data set that we think could eventually solve the Tragedy of the Commons.

As we wrote under Sustainability Arbitrage Strategy:

  • “We believe that Corporates are unfairly treated in the sustainability pricing process.

  • The ESG industry behaves as if the company is the bad actor that finance has to police. But in truth, as opaque ESG data and black box ESG calculations have killed the market signal that generates sustainability price discovery, finance is a bad actor too.

  • We believe that good companies have the best incentives to get their ESG right to tap green bonds and sustainable finance and to create an ardent following of ESG investors.”
