Manaos recently participated in the ESG Hackathon organized by BNP Paribas and Bloomberg , where ESG Lead Pauline Casabianca joined forces with industry experts to develop a sustainable and high-performing investment universe for the agrifood sector .
Using granular data analytics , sectoral segmentation , and targeted exclusion criteria , the team focused on refining ESG metrics to construct a specialized agrifood thematic fund . By analyzing Bloomberg’s database of 9,000 companies , this approach identified the 100 most virtuous agrifood firms , demonstrating the potential of data-driven sustainable investing .
The results were striking—an 18% performance increase compared to the traditional agrifood sector’s 3-4% growth , highlighting the value of strategic ESG tools in identifying resilient and high-performing investment niches.
Manaos continues to support investors by providing technical solutions for ESG strategy implementation , from fund look-through to analysis and reporting .
