What is ESG Investing?

This investing model works with three primary emphases: environmental, social and corporate governance.

We’ll Help You Consider:

Environmental

The environmental emphasis works on advancing and avoiding the impact on natural resources. Advancing means supporting and sustaining positive measures like renewable resources and environmental efficiency. Avoiding means eliminating or diminishing negative environmental investments like fossil fuels or waste production.

We believe companies that invest in renewable resources and diminish the use of depleting resources have a better long-term benefit and are better suited for future profitability.

Social

The social emphasis looks at a company’s diversity and inclusion in recruitment policies, including human rights issues and welfare of their employees as well as those of the companies they do business with.

Corporate Governance

The corporate governance emphasis considers the rights and responsibilities of a company’s leadership and establishing healthy corporate culture. These concerns include executive compensation and bonuses, equal and fair compensation for employees, clarifying and matching values with trade partners, positive employee and stockholder relations.

The Sustainable Impact Strategy seeks to invest in a portfolio of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) whose holdings have a positive environmental, social, governance (ESG) and impact characteristics. The ETFs used incorporate ESG screens or societal impact as part of their construction methodology while trying to keep costs low.
