In the long term, the consideration of sustainability factors can have a significant influence on the value trend of an investment. Issuers with insufficient sustainability standards may be exposed to event, reputation, regulation, legal, and technology risks.

Among others, these risks in the domain of sustainability can impact operational activities, the brand and corporate value, and the continuity of the company or of the investment. The occurrence of these risks can result in a negative rating for the investment that in turn can influence the yield of the UCITS.
