The firm defined a "controversy" as "when a company's activity has unintended and/or undesired negative environmental and/or social effects on stakeholders, with corresponding reputational risk," adding that it's the "extreme ESG downside risk, with at times a massively negative impact on company share prices."The firm based its analysis on 80 past ESG controversies, dating back to 2005 and spanning regions and sectors.
The firm noted that a stock's drop can contribute significantly to the performance of its regional sector, which is why the underperformance relative to the global benchmark was more extreme.Global Sustainable Investment Alliance
