Proxy Voting

Calvert actively exercises proxy voting seeking to advance the environmental, social, and governance practices of companies held in our investment portfolios. We take this responsibility very seriously and are transparent about how and what we vote.

Shareholders of a corporation not only have the right to participate in the financial growth and success of their corporation, they also have the right to vote on important matters concerning the company's policies, practices and governance.

Calvert believes that proxy voting is the most direct means by which investors can influence corporate behavior. Calvert casts votes on a company's shareholder resolutions based on its proxy voting guidelines.
