The OTM explicitly distinguishes betweenESG screeningandstewardship/engagement, defining screening as a pre-investment activity. It states:
“ESG screeninginvolves the inclusion or exclusion of securities based on sustainability criteria. It is aportfolio construction mechanismand does not constitute stewardship or engagement activity.”
While engagement occurs post-investment to influence company behavior, screening operates ex-ante to align investments with values, norms, or ESG thresholds. The manual adds that “screening remains the simplest and most widely used responsible investment strategy globally.”
Therefore,option Bcorrectly identifies the separation between ESG screening and stewardship activities.
