2022 sustainability highlights
In 2022, we expanded our SI Team and SI product suite beyond public-market equities and fixed income and into alternatives and private markets. We redoubled our climate research, extending our collaboration with Woodwell Climate Research Center into biodiversity research and adding a new climate transition-risk research initiative with the Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Our impact investing efforts included the launch of an emerging markets-focused approach and expansion of our Impact Measurement & Management Practice, which informs our investment theses and impact theories of change. Below are a few additional highlights from the year. We invite you to read our full 2022 Sustainability Report.
