About SmartView™
 SmartView
is a proprietary patent-pending investment analytics platform developed by
CRD
Analytics that distills large sets of complex financial and extra-financial
data to produce complete, relevant and actionable information for investors and
executive decision makers.
SmartView constantly screens and filters its database of over 5,000 global
companies to produce a public company’s Sustainable
 Performance
Value -- the company's relative risk-adjusted score based on total financial
performance combined with environmental,
social and governance (ESG) performance. SmartView utilizes over 200
metrics in its scoring methodology.
Through extensive statistical analysis and testing, the system has
determined the Metrics that Matter.
 SmartView uses metrics that show a strong correlation with performance and improved
shareholder value. The SmartView platform was one of the first systems to use
the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3 guidelines in its index
methodology to publicly list the NASDAQ OMX
CRD Global Sustainability 50 Index (QCRD).
Since its inception, the GSI-50 index has consistently outperformed the broader
market.
CRD
Analytics is an independent provider of investment analytics. The company’s
rigorous evaluation of financial, social, environmental and governance data is
used to quantitatively determine the potential sustainability of a company,
industry sector or investment portfolio, allowing for informed investment
decisions and delivering optimized, risk-adjusted sustainable performance.
Greening Point is a member of the CRD Analytics Preferred Partner Network.

CEOs, CFOs, investor relations executives and sustainability executives all need
to understand how investors and the public rate their companies -- and how to
improve those ratings. SmartView™ reports and workshops provide an answer.
Sustainability = Stock Performance
Sustainability-focused
companies often financially outperform their peers by a substantial margin.
Public companies are investing in sustainability not only because it's the right
thing to do, but also to lower costs, reduce risk, enhance reputation and foster
innovation. The result: better business performance and higher stock
prices.
Prepare for New Compliance Challenges
Regulatory agencies are becoming increasingly concerned with sustainability
issues, from EPA carbon regulations to SEC reporting guidance. The
SmartView reports and workshops provide another tool for improving
organizational readiness.
SmartView™ Reports
The SmartView reports offer essential information and insight for public companies and portfolio managers. The
SmartView Sustainable Performance
Value score based on a comprehensive set of financial and
extra-financial metrics.
Values are calculated based on the average score across the following four
categories: Financial, Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance. Data is
presented in several visual formats; table lists, bar charts and gauges, with
comparisons across sectors, industries, peer groups, geographies and market
capitalization sizes.
