ESG Responsible Investing
Responsible investing is more than avoiding “sin” stocks. It’s about making investments that positively impact our environment, social responsibility, and corporate structures, while also focusing on positive returns. Also known as environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing, this approach considers the sustainability and societal impact of each investment. We believe that money is simply a tool, and when it’s put toward the right purposes, one that can improve the futures of our communities.
As Responsible Investing gains ground, more investment managers are offering ESG-focused investments. But not all responsible investment strategies are created equal. Our integration of fundamental research, ESG data analysis, and direct company engagement helps align your investments with your values — without losing focus on performance. Our comprehensive approach is built on Calvert's Four Pillars of Responsible Investing:
- Performance
- Research
- Engagement
- Impact
