As a leader in sustainable and responsible investing (SRI), Calvert offers a range of SRI strategies. Recognizing that investors want choice in how they meet their financial goals and impact corporate responsibility and sustainability practices, we offer three distinct approaches:
- Calvert Signature™ Strategies—Calvert's original approach comprising two distinct research frameworks: a rigorous review of financial performance, and a thorough assessment of environmental, social and governance performance.
- Calvert Solution™ Strategies—A thematic approach to solving some of today's most pressing environmental and sustainability challenges.
- Calvert SAGE™ Strategies—An "enhanced engagement" approach emphasizing strategic engagement to advance environmental, social and governance performance in companies that may not meet certain standards today, but have the potential to improve.
Each of Calvert's three approaches to sustainable and responsible investing is different, yet equally strong in its performance potential and ability to influence corporate responsibility, and reflects a pursuit of investment management excellence that is unique to Calvert.
