ESG Investments
ESG investments may not directly advance the Fund’s mission, but are proactively screened for Environmental, Social, and Governance criteria to ensure they reflect our philanthropic vision.
While ESG criteria may differ, they can include factors such as carbon emissions, land use, labor management, health risk, board diversity, and financial transparency. We gauge our progress [PDF] across a range of outcome measures, including the United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) catalog of generally accepted impact performance metrics, IRIS+.
