K KPI-based approach The Key Performance Indicators-based approach has recently been rolled out with the first KPI being Greenhouse Gas (GHG) intensity. The main advantage of the KPI-based approach is the ability to quantify the sustainability feature of a portfolio and being able to report outcomes on a regular basis. The KPI-based approach allows to choose between two objectives: – To outperform a reference investment universe or benchmark on at least one environmental or social KPI, or – to achieve an ongoing year-on-year improvement on a chosen environmental or social KPI.
