1. Which of the following best describes 'ESG integration' in investment management?
✓ Systematically incorporating environmental, social, and governance factors into financial analysis and investment decisions

ESG integration involves systematically incorporating E, S, and G factors into financial analysis alongside traditional financial metrics, rather than simply excluding companies or restricting to specific instruments.

3. In the context of the SCR certification, a carbon price corridor is used primarily to:
✓ Guide corporate investment decisions by setting minimum and maximum expected carbon costs over time

A carbon price corridor provides a high-low range of expected carbon prices, helping companies plan capital allocation for decarbonization investments.

4. Which SCR concept describes the potential loss in value of fossil-fuel-related assets due to climate policy or technological change?

A just transition ensures that decarbonization policies are socially equitable, supporting displaced workers and vulnerable communities through retraining, social protection, and economic diversification.

6. In the SCR context, which concept describes the risk that financial institutions face from holding assets in carbon-intensive sectors that may be devalued by tightening climate policy?
✓ Climate-related transition risk leading to stranded asset exposure
