Investment Standards:

As investors, we participate in capital markets applying environmental and social standards in our investment decisions.

Across all of our funds, our priority is to seek triple bottom-line results: positive for people, planet, and profit.

Our Impact Investment Standards help us achieve this by focusing on two main goals:

  • Universal human dignity
  • Ecological sustainability

Engagement:

As owners, we speak with issuers, civil society organizations, and policymakers to create financial, environmental, and societal value. We do this through a combination of activities, including:

  • Direct dialogue with companies
  • Shareholder proposals
  • Proxy voting
  • Speaking out on public policy issues

Investing in Communities: 

As neighbors, we seek to help build strong, sustainable communities by directing capital to where it is needed most. Through our investments, we focus on three key goals to build a more sustainable and equitable society:

  • Increasing access to capital
  • Creating public goods
  • Filling capital gaps
