Appendix II: Additional description of the sustainability criteria
Sustainability reporting
The first step towards sustainability reporting is made in the accounting sector. The ‘Corporate
Report’ (ASSC) has been published in 1975, and this report pleads for social and environmental
reporting.
1Obligatory international standards for sustainability reporting are not present. However,
several insurance companies use the guidelines developed by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).
Since 1998 several organisations work together for the GRI to develop international guidelines for
sustainability reporting. GRI vision is that reporting on economic, environmental, and social
performance by all organizations becomes a routine. To accomplish this vision GRI continually
develops, improves, and builds capacity around the use of its Sustainability Reporting Framework.
2In
the last decade sustainability reporting gained in significance, and this reflects the necessity of society,
legal rules, and needs of companies to also measure and control non-financial performances and to
report this to internal and external stakeholders.
3Through their sustainability reports they can
communicate how they exercise this responsibility toward sustainability.
Several analyses have examined the sustainability reporting activities of companies, and result from
these reports is that there is an increase in the number of companies which provide a sustainability
report (i.e. Kolk (2002), and Scott (2003)).
Environmental statements and Behavioural Codes
ICC Business Charter
The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) works to promote world trade and investment based
on free and fair competition. It aims at harmonizing trade practices and formulates guidelines and
terminology for importers and exporters. The objective of the Charter is ‘that the widest range of
enterprises commit themselves to improving their environmental performance in accordance with the
principles, to having in place management practices to effect such improvement, to measuring their
progress, and to reporting this progress as appropriate, internally and externally’.
4UNEP FI
Related to UNEP FI are the ‘Principles for Responsible Investment’ (PRI). These principles are
created, because there is a growing view among investors that environmental, social and corporate
governance issues can affect the performance of investment portfolios.
5Equator principles
For a number of years, banks working in the project finance sector had been seeking ways to develop a
common and coherent set of environmental and social policies, and guidelines that could be applied
globally and across all industry sectors. In June 2003 the first set of Equator Principles was launched,
and over 40 financial institutions adopted these principles during a three year implementation period.
In July 2006 a newly revised set of Equator Principles were released. These Principles are adopted in
order to ensure that the projects that are financed are developed in a manner that is socially responsible
and reflect sound environmental management practices. In this way, negative impacts on
project-affected ecosystems and communities should be avoided, reduced, alleviated and/or compensated for.
The institutions which have adopted these principles recognise that they can promote responsible
environmental stewardship and socially responsible development. The revised principles apply to all
new project financings with a total project capital costs of US$10 million or more, and across all
industry sectors.
6Global Compact and ‘Who Cares Wins’
In 2004 twenty financial institutions have worked together to publish the ‘Who cares wins’ report in
lines of the Global Compact for the financial sector. With this report the institutions want to broaden
the perspective of financial market participants, encourage them to an extended discussion and to
support creativity.
7Environmental management systems
An environmental management system is a system that specifically focuses on the control and
improvement of environmental performances and risks. These systems help companies to minimize
the negative effects of their operations on the environment (negative effects of waste, energy usage,
and CO2 emissions). There are two possibilities for certification of environmental management
systems, namely certification by the ISO 14001 and/or by the EMAS standard. The standards of
EMAS are stricter than those of ISO14001, and EMAS requires an environmental report. The ISO
14001 standard is developed by the International Organization for Standardization, and it is a series of
international standards on environmental management. This standard provides a framework for the
development of both the system and the supporting audit program.
8The EMAS is established by
European Regulation and it stands for the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme. The EMAS is
designed to improve companies’ environmental performance.
9Financial products with a sustainability element
Besides investing in sustainable funds other financial products with a focus on sustainability exist, for
example, low-mileage premiums for motor vehicles insurance. Low-mileage premiums mean that you
pay in advance for a predetermined number of miles, and either pay more or receive a discount
depending on how much you drive. Thus, low-mileage drivers receive discounts for driving less.
These insurance products provide financial incentives for driving less. It is expected that these policies
will reduce driving and congestion by 10 to 12%. Driving less reduces air pollution, toxic runoff from
roads, and climate impacts. Norwich Union Insurance in the UK started offering this type of product in
2003.
10Also products with a focus on climate change have been developed, for example the climate mortgage
offered by the Rabobank or green buildings products. Climate mortgages make it possible to lend
money for the sustainable (re)building of a house against an attractive interest rate. This makes the
energy usage lower, and reduces the negative impact on the climate. And green building does not have
to be more expensive that non-green building.
11Allianz AG plans to introduce different commercial
insurance policies designed to support and encourage the development of green buildings. The
development of green buildings saves energy and reduces emissions of greenhouse gases. One of the
products will provide a discount to buildings that have a LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design) or Green Globes certification. They also introduce a commercial property
product that will upgrade customers to energy efficient or green products when replacing damaged
items such as roofs, windows, equipment, lighting systems and hot water heaters. These products will
promote energy efficiency, which saves costs for the customers and reduces greenhouse gas
pollution.
12Micro-insurance is an example of a financial product of which the focus is on social sustainability.
This product is a method to distribute insurance to reach the poor. Institutions in the developing
countries are linked with regulated insurance companies to provide professional insurance products to
the low-income market. At the same time the risk remains where it belongs, with a regulated insurer. It
has been proven that this method provides important risk management tools to low-income people,
and an important addition to the product line and profits of local institutions. Furthermore, it allows
insurers to enter these markets efficiently and profitably. In the Netherlands the Micro Insurance
Association Netherlands (MIAN) was founded in 2004. MIAN supports local organisations with the
development of micro-insurance systems.
13One of the partners of MIAN is the Rabobank Foundation.

AIG covers 1.6 million lives in Uganda through medium and large local institutions. AIG works with
the Micro Insurance Centre, and this Centre is working on several programmes to cover several
million more lives with life insurance, health care insurance, endowments and other long-term savings,
and property insurance.
14Sustainability indices
Dow Jones Sustainability Group Index
The Dow Jones Sustainability Group Indexes are the first global indexes which tracked the financial
performance of the leading sustainability-driven companies worldwide; approximately two-hundred
companies are included. These indexes were launched in 1999, and based on the cooperation between
the Dow Jones Indexes, STOXX Limited and the Sustainable Asset Management (SAM).
15FTSE4Good Index
The FTSE4Good index is developed, in 2001, to measure and identify the performance of companies
that are working towards environmental sustainability, developing positive relationships with
stakeholders, and up-hold and support universal human rights.
16So this index gives investors
information about the companies that meet globally recognized corporate responsibility standards.
Ethibel Sustainability Index (ESI)
Since 2002 the Ethibel Sustainability Index (ESI) exists, and this index provides a complete
perspective on the financial performance of the world’s leading companies in terms of sustainability.
They started with the Ethibel Pioneer Index, but because of a growing demand from the market
Ethibel introduced the Ethibel Excellence Global Index and the Ethibel Excellence Europe Index.
Currently 278 companies are included in this index.
17The Domini Social Index
In 1990 the Domini 400 Social Index was developed by A. Domini and her partners. In this index
four-hundred large-cap U.S. corporations are included; these companies are selected on basis of a wide
range of social and environmental standards.
18The Carbon Climate Index
Since 2000 the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) provides a secretariat for the largest institutional
investor’s collaboration on the business implications of climate change. CDP is a special project of
Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisers. Institutional investors collectively sign a single global request for
disclosure of information on Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Today, more than a thousand large
corporations report on their emissions through the website of CDP. CDP also developed a Carbon
Climate Index, and this index reveals which high-impact FT500 companies have the most
comprehensive climate-change disclosure practices.
19Appendix III: Two sided t-test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and ANOVA test
This appendix describes the two sided t-test, and gives an explanation for the variables in the
tables of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests (Appendix V) and the results from the ANOVA tests:
Two sided t-test
The two-sided t-test compares the values of observations with the average and standard
deviation. A critical value indicates whether an observation is significantly higher or lower
than average.

ANOVA test
The one-way ANOVA test is used to test for significant differences between means. The
F-test is used to F-test the null hypothesis that all groups have similar performances. The total sum
of squares is the sum of the squared differences between each observation and the overall
The other part is the group sum of squares. In the following ANOVA output table it is
described how the F statistic is calculated.

Groups I-1 Σgroups ni(xi-x)

SSG/DFG MSG/MSE
Error N-1 Σgroups (ni-1)si2 SSE/DFE
Total N-1 Σobs (xij – x)2
The degrees of freedom are determined by I-1 for groups and N-1 for error and total, where I
is the number of groups and N is the number of observations.
Subsequently, mean squares are calculated by dividing the sum of squares by the degree of
freedom. The F ratio is the test statistic which is used to determine whether the sample means
are significantly different. This ratio is calculated by the ratio of the model mean square to the
error mean square. Under the null hypothesis, that the sample means are not significantly
different, the F statistics follows a F distribution with p numerator degrees of freedom and
Appendix IV: Sustainability criteria
Notes:
* A + signifies that the criterion is fulfilled, and an – signifies that the criterion is not fulfilled.
* For sustainability reporting the + is replaced by the year of the first publication of the sustainability report. * For transparency and goals the + is replaced by ‘quantitative’ or ‘qualitative’.
