I N N O V E S TStrategic Value Advisors
Changing Viewpoint:
Traditional view: Fiduciary responsibility to maximizereturns precludes SRI
Most academic and business studies show a positivecorrelation between environmental and stock marketperformance
Correlation exists because environmental performance isan excellent proxy for management quality
Management quality is a leading determinate of stockmarket performance
4
I N N O V E S TStrategic Value Advisors
Changing Viewpoint:
Environment and social issues represent one of themost complex challenges facing management
High level of technical, market and regulatoryuncertainty
Many complex issues, stakeholders and non-financialmeasures to address
Success in this high complexity area implies ability toexcel in other business areas, and thereby earnsuperior returns

Key Drivers of Sustainability Investing:
• Growing dissatisfaction with traditional securities andvaluation analysis, in the wake of the Enron and WorldComscandals, among others.
• European pension reforms placing greater emphasis onsocially and environmentally responsible investment andgreater disclosure to investors, eg. U.K., France, Netherlands,Switzerland, Sweden, Germany.
• Increasing pressure from NGO’s and other externalstakeholders, armed with better and faster companyinformation.
• Broadening interpretation of fiduciary requirements by publicand corporate pension funds to include sustainability issues.

I N N O V E S TStrategic Value Advisors
Key Drivers of Sustainability Investing:
• Growing institutional shareholder activism on sustainabilityissues, and therefore growing demand for supporting companyresearch.
• Rapidly changing consumer/investor demographics – babyboom bulge of younger consumers and investors with greaterenvironmental and social consciousness.
• Tightening global, regional, and domestic regulatorypressures, e.g. Kyoto Protocol; new E.U. directives, U.S. cleanair regulations.
• Growing CEO/CFO awareness of the competitive andfinancial benefits of sustainability.

I N N O V E S TStrategic Value AdvisorsDeteriorating Environmental Conditions
Every major environmental system is in decline (World WatchInstitute, State of the World):
50% of Forests cleared 50% of wetlands gone Accelerating biodiversity losses Global warming exacerbated by greenhouse gas emissions Topsoil erosion, salination of soil, and acquifer depletion
ongoing Every major ocean fishery at its limit or in decline Ozone layer thinning ongoing Coral reefs in decline
11
I N N O V E S TStrategic Value AdvisorsDeteriorating Environmental Conditions
The State of the Earth’s natural ecosystems has declined by33% since 1970 (Living Planet Index).
The ecological pressure of humanity on the Earth hasincreased by about 50% since 1970 (Ecological Footprint Index).
Humanity’s demands on nature exceed the capacity of theEarth to provide resources and assimilate waste by at least 30%(WWF, Living Planet Report).
As a result, the Earth’s natural capital is being depleted. This isthe ultimate cause of the decline in the world’s forests, freshwaterand marine ecosystems.
12
I N N O V E S TStrategic Value Advisors
Implications for Corporations and Investors
Greater incorporation of externalities into prices through taxes,regulations, fees and other means.
Increasing pressure to minimize negative environmental andsocial impacts and accept ongoing responsibility for products.
Growing demands to consider second and third-order impactson society -- systems thinking.
Greatly increased complexity for management.
Sustainability is the largest challenge ever faced by business.
13
I N N O V E S TStrategic Value Advisors
Major Obstacles to Providing Accurate Analysis
High Complexity -- Identifying, quantifying andattributing environmental impacts is difficult
Poor Data Quality -- Data is often lagged, missing,inaccurate and biased

Strategy: Very proactive. Recognize variety of environmentally-oriented products are based on theirsemiconductor products. Environmental investments was 1.88% of total investments in 1998, 2.98% of1997 investments. Opportunity: Moderate. Engagement will depend on outside industries recognizingenvironmental contribution of STM's products. However, STM's European client base should be morereceptive to such opportunities. Green Business: Pursued directly and indirectly. STM sells recoveredbrass and glass powder from process waste. The auto sector uses the company’s applications insideengine management systems to reduce pollution by influencing emissions. Fuzzy logic chips reduce theenergy used by appliances by almost 30%. Smartchips used in lighting decrease energy consumption andextend the life of fluorescent tubes.

• Belief that SRI funds underperform non-SRI funds.• Belief that SRI is a style of investing (e.g., value, growth, etc.)rather than a discipline that can be applied to all styles.• Belief that SRI may violate fiduciary responsibility byconsidering non-financial issues.• Lack of analyst experience in assessing complex environmentaland social issues.• Some fiduciaries assume their investments already are socially-responsible.• Belief that SRI must be adopted all at once, rather than phasedin over time.• Ambiguity about the definition and objectives of SRI.
