É um quadro prático que pode ser ampliado ou reduzido dependendo dos recursos financeiros e humanos, e pode ajudar investidores de impacto experientes a flexibilizar a força de toda a sua dotação.
We are an owner of assets deploying billions of dollars into public and private markets.
We are a consumer of financial services that can promote integrated thinking on environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) issues among the asset managers we hire.
We are a shareholder of corporations that votes company proxies and raises questions about practices, strategy, and risk management.
We are an institutional investor that works with others to source deals, create better market conditions, and share our experiences.
Os nossos investimentos de impacto devem estar estreitamente alinhados com os objetivos das nossas duas áreas prioritárias de doações: Clima e Energia do Centro-Oeste e Comunidades vibrantes e equitativas. Para nosso clima work, we are committed to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions across our endowment by 2050 at the latest. Read more about our net zero commitment.
Guided by our impact investing policy, investment decisions are made by the Investment Committee of the board of directors. This committee makes the final decision on all investment ideas.
Cambridge Associates is our primary service provider, advising the Foundation on the endowment. We also work with other foundations and institutional investors informally and through more formal collaborations.
“Temos um enorme poder para criar mudanças quando investimos. À medida que o dinheiro flui para investimentos amigos do clima e se afasta dos grandes emissores, aceleraremos a transição para uma economia de baixo carbono.”
– ELIZABETH MCGEVERAN, FORMER VICE PRESIDENT OF INVESTMENTS
