What is Sustainable Investing?

Sustainable investing describes investment strategies that incorporate environmental, social or governance considerations into investment decisions. You may have heard of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) or Impact Investing. SRI began by excluding “sin industries” in the early 20th century. Since that time, sustainable investing has evolved to include and exclude a wide variety of factors.

Examples include:

• Environmental policy
• Water supply management
• Clean energy investments
• Working conditions
• Community impact assessment
• Board structure and diversity
• Shareowner rights
