What to Check

Check the mandate, screening rule, rating provider, data source, issuer disclosure, stewardship policy, benchmark, exclusions, measurement period, and whether the claim affects risk, return, or eligibility.

Common Mistakes

  • Treating an ESG score as proof of investment quality or low risk.
  • Confusing impact investing, exclusionary screening, ESG integration, and thematic exposure.
  • Ignoring methodology differences between rating providers.
  • Accepting green or sustainable labels without checking holdings and disclosure support.

Sustainability labels and ratings require verification; this page is educational and does not recommend a fund, issuer, strategy, or values-based screen.
