As global CO2 emissions continue to rise, electricity demand is expected to double by 2050. The challenge of greenifying the energy sector is therefore one of the main challenges in the face of climate change. Now, there is strong momentum in the growing clean energy space, as the economies worldwide join forces to decarbonize the energy sector through renewables, electrification, and improved energy infrastructure. Robeco invests in the energy transformation to a low-carbon future, captures strong growth potential of decarbonization, electrification, and digitization within the sector, and identifies early adopters (as well as key enablers) that contribute to the successful energy transition.

Risk profile
A risk profile of a single stock or a mutual fund is an evaluation of the level of risk. It is assessed with a score from 1 to 7. The score is calculated with a standardized methodology based on the level of the volatility of the fund displayed during the previous 5 years.
The higher the value of the volatility the higher is the risk. A score of 1 is associated to lower risk, while a score of 6-7 to higher risk.

Some of the innovative companies in the fund offering solutions to achieve a low-carbon future.
Schneider Electric is on a mission to provide the world with a way to equip each and everyone with access to energy while also fighting climate change at the same time. It operates through two segments: Energy Management and Industrial Automation. The company commits to reduce absolute Scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions by 100% and absolute Scope 3 emissions by 35% until 2030 from a 2017 base year.
Analog Devices, Inc. designs, manufactures and markets integrated circuits used in analog and digital signal processing. The company's products are used in communications, computers, industrial, instrumentation, military, aerospace, automotive, and high-performance consumer electronics applications. Analog Devices Inc aims to reduce its CO2 emissions by 50% until 2025, use only renewable energies in their manufacturing sites by 2025, and achieve carbon neutrality by 2030.
Azbil Corporation provides automation products and services worldwide. It operates through three segments: Building Automation Business, Advanced Automation Business, and Life Automation Business. Azbil Corporation commits to reduce absolute Scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions by 30% until 2030 from a 2013 base year, as well as Scope 3 emissions by 20% until 2030 compared to 2017.

Robeco has a solid track record in sustainable investment fund strategies. The RobecoSAM Smart Energy Equities is no exception: it has a sustainability-driven investment objective that is in line with the Principles for Responsible Investing (PRI), the EU’s Article 9 Regulation, and numerous UN Sustainable Development Goals, such as Affordable & Clean Energy (SDG 7) and Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure (SDG 9). In addition, the fund screens for ESG criteria, uses a proprietary Robeco SDG framework, and, among other things, also checks for “Do No Significant Harm” criteria that are aligned with the UNGC and OECD Guidelines, as well as the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Labor Organization’s (ILO) labor standards, and the UN Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights (UNGPs).
As sustainability risks could cause an actual or potential negative impact on the value of investments, climate change considerations are therefore fully integrated into the research process, from both an impact and risk perspective. As its investment objective, the fund targets companies that contribute positively to the mitigation of climate change. Further, the fund applies a full ESG integration on material climate issues, fossil fuel exclusions, and engagement with companies on climate strategy. RobecoSAM Smart Energy Equities is therefore considered to have a resilient, low-risk portfolio in regards to climate change. As of 2022, the fund will also integrate Principle Adverse Impact as yet another measure to mitigate governance risk in its portfolio.
Carrying out stewardship responsibilities is an integral part of Robeco’s Sustainable Investing approach. RobecoSAM Smart Energy Equities fund has a dedicated active ownership strategy, which means that they engage with the portfolio companies on climate strategies, encourage good governance and sustainable corporate practices, and conduct proxy voting. Through their enhanced engagement program, Robeco acts to address any potential misconduct of companies in which they invest. Altogether, this positively contributes to long-term shareholder value creation, as well as the betterment of society overall.
