Sustainability
At CFIP, we view financially material Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors as a natural expansion of traditional, financial risk factors, and the inclusion of these factors as part of our fiduciary responsibility to our clients.
We believe that companies that perform well on financially material ESG factors make good investments. Well-run businesses devote time and resources to address these factors and position themselves for long-term success. By contrast, companies that fail to adequately address financially material ESG concerns expose themselves to heightened risks that can significantly impact long term financial performance. When done well, the inclusion of these factors in an investment process should maximize risk-adjusted financial returns over the long run for clients.
On February 6, 2023, CFIP became a signatory to the PRI and is in the process of updating its policies and procedures as needed in conjunction with this new set of requirements and guidance.
