1Whilst ESG factors are taken into account when considering the acquisition, retention, development, improvement and maintenance of assets, it is important to note there are other non-ESG factors considered too. ESG factors are generally no more significant than other factors in the decision-making process, and as such, ESG factors may not be determinative in a decision to acquire, retain, improve, develop or maintain any particular asset.
