Genus Capital Management has announced the addition of its biodiversity investment screen.

The screen excludes companies with low biodiversity performance from its investment portfolios. The screening methodology targets underperforming companies in raw materials sourcing, water stress, and biodiversity using data from MSCI to exclude 40 of the lowest-performing companies in terms of biodiversity impact.

Mike Thiessen, Chief Sustainability Officer and Co-Chief Investment Officer at Genus Capital Management, said, “We are proud to introduce the Biodiversity Screen as part of our commitment to sustainable and responsible investing. By excluding companies with low biodiversity performance from our clients’ portfolios, we aim to contribute to the preservation of our natural capital while providing investors with opportunities for both ethical and financially sound investments.”
