Using independent sustainability data, Oko Adviser scores investments across Environmental, Social and Governance performance, to help you understand how “good” they are. Every investment is provided with a score out of 100.

Our Planet criteria looks at a company’s energy use, waste, pollution, natural resource conservation and animal treatment. We also evaluate which environmental risks might affect a company’s income and how the company is managing those risks.

Our People criteria looks at how the company and its supply chain treats its people and the community around it. We do this through analysing things like the company’s working conditions, employees’ health and safety, human rights, business relationships, charitable community and volunteer work.

Our Ethics criteria looks at how the company is run. It looks at if the company is transparent and ethical, if it has strong and independent leadership, how diverse the management is, executive compensation and employee relationships, incidents and risk exposures.

Oko Adviser provides sustainability rating to over 1000,000 global listed and unlisted companies, ETFs and funds.

Working from a framework of covering Environmental, Social and Governance issues, Oko Adviser empowers user to build a portfolio of companies based on their sustainable preferences and exclusions.

• Providing an overall ‘Oko Adviser score’ out of 100 and four key scores for Environmental, Social and Governance considerations, companies are categorised across four risk levels: fantastic, good, okay and bad.
• A company is analysed and scored based on its actions, policy, awareness of and management of ESG risk, across its entire supply chain, partnerships and product lines.
• Oko Adviser identifies companies involved in a range of products, services and business activities for screening purposes as well as identifying companies involved in incidents that may negatively impact the environment, society, employees and stakeholders.
• A company is measured against its industry peers and against the global universe.
• Companies are exposed to different ESG issues to different degrees. The assessment to this exposure is driven by sub-industry and company-specific factors.
• The magnitude to which a company is exposed to ESG risk and how well the company is managing that risk is measured and incorporated into the scoring.
• Funds are scored based on the scores of the underlying companies that the funds invest in.

Our data is sourced from Independent ratings agencies, brand and parent company annual reports and websites, credible third-party reports (eg. Clean 200) and industry standards bodies (e.g. PRI – Principles of Responsible Investing, CDP – Carbon Disclosure Project)

Awarded rankings are based on scores and consider product or service involvement (exclusion screens). This is done for the specific reason, that it is up to the customer to decide what to exclude from their portfolio. At a minimum we have designed the score to promote a ‘best of breed’ approach to selection eg. a customer may want to purchase a lithium mining stock due to the importance of lithium in electric vehicle production. The holistic scoring and ranking approach will promote the highest scoring company based on their broad sustainability.
