Capital Concept provides investors and companies with indispensable insights, advice and tools to achieve their mission-critical priorities and build the successful organizations of tomorrow. We help them attain sustainability leadership through: - adopting/committing to international ESG standards - fostering good governance, integrity and accountability - integrating ESG due diligence as part of their responsible investing process - providing ESG reporting to investors - understanding risks and opportunities of impact investing We believe there is a strong link between the longer-term positive impact of ESG integration and improved risk-adjusted returns, in addition to its effects on the well-being of both society and the environment. Capital Concept’s ESG Methodology is adapted to accommodate the corporation’s local laws and requirements and to international regulatory trends. The objective of this work is to evaluate the level of impact a corporation has on sustainability, and help them identify ESG-related risks and opportunities. Based on our findings, we can then place practical recommendations to improve a corporation’s ESG practices and push beyond compliance boundaries. Capital Concept’s ESG methodology is the ultimate tool to guide corporations to become socially responsible and run sustainable businesses, making them a safe investment destination. In December 2018, Capital Concept released its Shareholder Rights ESG Methodologies developed in collaboration with United Nations Lebanon, IFC and EBRD. Anchored in UN’s Business and Human Rights Guiding Principles, the methodologies were revised by UNIDO, ILO, FAO, UNDP and WHO before they were examined by the IFC and EBRD. The Methodologies were acclaimed during the Geneva UNBHR congress in November 2018 for their unique approach to investor protection.
