Inversiones Maslosa / SustainabilitySUSTAINABILITY
We combine traditional financial analysis with ESG analysis in our investment models.
Inversiones Maslosa applies a strategy and basic conduct principles, basing it’s management on, a responsible action and economic efficiency. This principles combine two closely related concepts: profitability and social responsibility, for which we also take into account the traditional fundamental analysis of any company (based on the study of their balance sheets and its business models and strategies), its social, environmental and corporate governance profile, because it is understood that this more complete analysis can prevent risks and detect investment opportunities.
We recognize in sustainability a means to create positive economic, environmental and social value for the society and our investees. With a focus on creating long-term value, we seek the integration of Socially Responsible Investments values and best practices in the entire society (company) by incorporating ESG (Enterprise, Social, Governance) criteria in our investment decisions.
“The extra-financial criteria are systematically built into the decision-making process at a global level. We take an increasingly structured approach to including these aspects in our management. We are more keenly aware of how sustainability contributes to value creation in our investments and its potential to mitigate environmental and social impacts, whether in terms of reducing risks, increasing operational efficiency or improving innovation”.
Inversiones Maslosa.
We actively promote dialogue (engagement) with the companies in which we invests, and believes that asking for information regarding SRI policies being applied and periodic reporting favours the awareness of the matter. With this purpose we have developed an “ESG Due Diligence checklist” that is completed for each investment made and through which different aspects of ISR are detailed at the company level, on considering that companies that adequately manage their environmental risks, are equipped with a more solid and independent management structure and know how to retain and attract talent, or that contribute with their activity to their local communities development, they will achieve more competitive advantage over those that do not.
Our investment criteria is based on a combination of two complementary analyzes:
- From a financial point of view, financial analysis, in order to determine and assess the most attractive assets.
- Extra-financial analysis, to identify and evaluate environmental, social and corporate governance practices:
- Knowledge of the key issues in each activity sector (environmental protection, customer-supplier connection, corporate governance, working conditions, etc.).
- Assessment for each activity sector, according to their behavior, of ASG criteria compliance, using different information’s sources.
The corporate social responsibility policy and the other instruments developed contribute to:
- Encouraging entrepreneurship, job creation and innovation (ethical dimension).
- Promote society’s development by supporting social entrepreneurship projects and infrastructures.
- Strengthen our identity and maintain growth and profitability.
- Encourage strategic objectives achievement through the efficient resources management.
- Responsibly managing risks and investment opportunities.
- Prevent and mitigate the possible negative impacts of our environmental activity.
