This quarter we joined fellow shareholder advocates in filing shareholder proposals, the culmination of corporate engagements from the months prior. We also took stock of our efforts and accomplishments to build sustainability in our portfolio companies beyond ESG risk analyses. In reflecting on our progress, we are reminded of our responsibility to harness our investor voice to make a difference.
The Storm Before the Calm?
We don’t think we are alone in saying that we will be happy to have 2022 in the rear-view mirror. This was a year filled with pervasive and relentless unrest, conflict, and sorrow.

Climate scientists continue to warn that structural changes in our economy are needed to mitigate the greatest harms of climate change. Meaningful policy changes are the most important strategy to address this, but the role of sustainable investing is also key.
