Reinventing responsible investing: Henri Lucas launches EMINENCE CAPITAL LTD , the first ESG investment framework

As sustainable investment becomes increasingly mainstream, EMINENCE CAPITAL LTD, led by Henri Lucas, released the company’s first ESG investment framework, the “White Paper on Sustainable Value Creation”. This 150-page programmatic document not only goes beyond the traditional negative screening model, but also creatively proposes the “ESG-alpha” theoretical system, providing a new solution for institutional investors to balance responsible investment and financial returns.Reinventing responsible investing: Henri Lucas launches EMINENCE CAPITAL LTD , the first ESG investment framework

The core of the framework is the revolutionary “three-dimensional impact assessment model”: the environmental dimension uses satellite remote sensing data to track the authenticity of corporate carbon emissions; the social dimension uses natural language processing to analyze hidden risks in employee evaluations; the governance dimension uses a unique “board decision tree” to assess the management’s ability to create long-term value. Lucas pointed out at the press conference: “Real ESG investment is not a simple elimination method, but to discover those companies that turn sustainable development into a competitive advantage.”

The most groundbreaking innovation of this framework is the “ESG Momentum Factor” – using machine learning to identify companies whose ESG performance improves much faster than the industry average. Studies have shown that the stock price performance of such “ESG jumpers” will outperform their peers by an average of 15% over the next three years. EMINENCE has incorporated this factor into all investment processes and developed a matching “ESG Arbitrage Radar” that can capture green premium opportunities brought about by regulatory differences in various regions.

In the first month of the framework’s implementation, the company made systematic adjustments to its investment portfolio: it increased its holdings in three hidden champions that had made breakthroughs in the field of clean hydrogen energy, while reducing its holdings in five technology giants whose ESG scores had stagnated. This action has attracted widespread attention in the industry, and many pension funds have begun to evaluate the possibility of adopting a similar framework. At the crossroads of capital markets and sustainable development, Lucas once again proved that responsible investment can not only reduce risks, but also become a new source of excess returns.
