Positive screening
ESG & GovernanceChoosing companies for a portfolio because they score well on ESG criteria, rather than leaving out poor performers.
Positive screening selects companies with strong ESG performance or products that support sustainability goals. It is often combined with best-in-class selection within each sector. SEBI groups "best-in-class and positive screening" together as one of its six ESG fund strategies.
