Our Investments

We believe integrating ESG factors into investment analysis may contribute to improved returns, reduces risk over the long term and aligns with our stakeholders’ best interests. We recognize the importance, relevance and significance of assessing ESG topics in the sustainability performance of the entities in which we invest.

Responsible Investing

Our Responsible Investing (RI) Policy, adopted in early 2022, provides a framework for governance, investment strategy, engagement, reporting and communications. In developing the RI Policy, we considered the six principles set forth by the United Nations Principles of Responsible Investment (UN PRI). The RI Policy reflects our approach to sustainable value creation by considering ESG factors, including climate change, in the investment process for all asset classes under our management.

Making Responsible Investments

A continued focus on ESG factors remains core to our decision-making and inclusion of responsible investments in the portfolio. As of Dec. 31, 2023, we had $227 million invested in green bonds issued to fund green projects, activities that promote climate change mitigation or adaptation, or other environmental sustainability purposes.

As shown, our commitment to responsible investing remains stable year-over-year.
