Innovest Strategic Value Advisors (Innovest) is an internationally recognized investment research and advisory firm specializing in analyzing companies' performance on environmental, social, and strategic governance issues, with a particular focus on their impact on competitiveness, profitability, and share price performance.

Innovest is highly regarded globally for the quality of our ESG research.  For example for the second year in a row, Innovest was judged the #1 global provider of "extra-financial" research in the Thomson Extel 2007 survey of institutional investors.

Founded in 1995, Innovest has more than 55 highly qualified analysts located in 7 offices on 4 continents undertaking research on approximately 2,300 companies globally (including the entire ASX200) on behalf of over 70 of the most prestigious and influential  superannuation, funds managers and banks globally. 

Innovest has developed leading capabilities in analyzing risk and opportunities for companies from climate change. This has culminated in the launch of Innovest Carbon Beta Ratings - the most sophisticated analysis of the financial impact of climate change on companies.  The ratings provide both quantification of the cost of compliance to emissions trading systems as well as assessing companies’ strategies and positioning in addressing the business issue of the 21st century -  the transition to a carbon constrained global economy.
