increasingly impacted by non-financial factors
Greater
regulatory
scrutiny
All stakeholders (investors, customers, regulators)
are getting more sensitive to these issues
Weak ESG practices increase business risksESG factors and the impact on risk

ESG factors lead to a range of potential impacts on stakeholders
Environmental:Firm generating high levels of
pollution may suffer from a future tax
Social:Firm that poorly treats its employees or
suppliers may be boycotted by the consumers
Governance:Firm with poor governance
heavily fined by the regulator
Low ESG score = Higher risk
• Events can have a meaningful impact
on the value of the firm
• Impact is uncertain
• Timeframe is long and uncertain
ESG has become a global prioritySupport from business, investors and regulators

ESG approach at Axis
A proprietary,
forward-looking and dynamic
view of ESG based on qualitative
assessment of each company
Process created with inputs from
Schroders –
incorporating global best
practices
All companies evaluated using
a standardized framework
that uses data as well as analyst
assessments
What are we looking for?
We look for truly
sustainable businesses
We believe investing in
these companies
Finding these companies
is challenging
• Strong stakeholder relationships
• Managed for durable long term growth
• Strong fundamentals
• Offers a rich source of alpha
• Can deliver stable returns with lower tail risk
• Has a positive social impact
• Requires much more than a tick box approach
• ESG analysis is necessary, but not sufficient
• Our existing process of looking for long term quality companies should give us an edge

Environment
Is the industry resource heavy polluting, carbon intensity, high water usage?
Are the company's assets exposed to areas of heavy pollution or water scarcity that could pose a threat to growth/ ROIC?
Does the company have explicit resource reduction targets, or policies in place to manage resources efficiently?
Do the company's products have a significant positive or negative environmental impact?
Social
Do the company's activities create significant positive or negative externalities (benefits/harm to society)?
Is this a labour intensive or 'knowledge based' business with inherently higher personnel related risks?
Evidence of safety breaches/ fatalities/ injuries (vs industry peers)?
Is there a risk to forecast ROIC via possible future ESG related policies (eg. sugar tax, carbon pricing, plastics legislation, rising social security & healthcare costs, etc)
Governance & Management
Capital allocation: Is payout ratio adequate, has it increased or decreased in the last 3Y, evidence of unwarranted cap raise or poor investment / M&A?
Shareholder structure: could the current structure propose risk to minorities (VIE, SoE, effective poison pills, risk related party transactions)
Board Structure: Are minorities adequately protected by independent BODs, CEO & Chairman separate, tenure or jobs for the boys?
Management quality: consider accessibility, communication, accounting practices (red flags), appropriate tax paid, auditor credibility/churn?
1) Rating for each variable (E/S/G) separately 2) Consolidated to provide overall score 3) Comparable across companies and sectors
Portfolio to reflect both growth and sustainability
