Integration
Our WIW concept: Integration
Sustainability indicators reveal long-term risks and opportunities that can have a financial impact. For example, more sustainable companies are often less affected by regulatory changes, less often involved in environmental disasters, have a higher public profile and are more innovative. Our extensive scientific studies prove this: Sustainable companies are often:
- Less susceptible to regulatory changes
- Less frequently involved in environmental disasters
- Bearer of a higher public reputation
- More innovative and future-oriented
These findings are the reason why we consistently integrate sustainability criteria into our financial company analysis for liquid investments.
Scientific studies on the effect of sustainability on the financial risk of companies:
The EB-ESG score
In order to analyze sustainability risks and opportunities in the best possible way, we have developed our own EB ESG score developed. This proprietary score combines the comprehensive, fundamental sustainability assessment of traditional ESG ratings with a news-based sustainability indicator. The fundamental and news-based sustainability factors complement each other ideally, which is why the EB ESG Score enables an even more precise company evaluation.
Fundamental Sustainability Assessment
News-based Sustainability Assessment
- Assessment of financial opportunities and risks arising from sustainability

EB-ESG-Score
The EB-ESG Score combines the strengths of both approaches into a holistic and forward-looking sustainability analysis.
The fundamental component takes into account the material ESG risks and opportunities, as well as how they are handled. Specific requirements and challenges of the respective industry are taken into account here. In addition, a news-based ESG score is calculated that evaluates news in real time. This analysis includes several hundred thousand articles from thousands of global news sources every day. AI-based processing enables current developments to be recognized and evaluated with foresight. This enables a dynamic and timely assessment of a company’s ESG performance, allowing investors to act more quickly.
