Sustainable Investing

Sustainable Investing

Maximizing returns and effectively managing risk.
How well the U.S Pension Plan Fund performs is based on the long-term value of the companies we invest in.
Effective management of sustainability* risks and opportunities is how companies can increase their value.
That’s why we monitor the sustainability practices of our companies and use our influence to encourage improvements. 

AURESTON’ approach to sustainable investing

We believe that matters of sustainability are critical considerations for any successful organization. That’s why we have a Chief Sustainability Officer who works closely with colleagues across the organization to identify, understand and manage such risks and opportunities.
