Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)

We take a measured approach to ESG as we strive to drive our purpose.

Responsible Investing Policy

  1. ESG Steering Committee governs policy, reporting and ESG-related initiatives.
  2. Employ qualitative and quantitative ESG analysis to identify company- or manager-specific risks and opportunities.
  3. Review the portfolio for issuers with poor or weaker trending ESG ratings and seek to emphasize those with more favorable ESG risk profiles, where ratings and relatively attractive investment opportunities are available.
  4. Engage with external asset managers regarding ESG integration into their investment decisions.
  5. Consider and review ESG standards and metrics for externally managed assets.
  6. Consider ESG factors and ratings when assessing new investment opportunities, where reliable data is available.
  7. Carefully consider impacts of carbon-intensive industries and include carbon metrics in our investment decisions and reporting.
  8. Engage the investment team in ESG training.

Sustainability and Governance

We remain committed to transparency and sharing our ESG performance through our Sustainability Report, Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Report and Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) Report.
