C WorldWide Asset Management’s approach to sustainability and investment stewardship

As the manager for the Pathways International Concentrated Equity Fund, screens on environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors form a key part of their investment process. They believe that building a sustainable company with a strong ESG profile begins with a foundation of effective corporate governance. From there, C WorldWide’s proactive stewardship and attention to these ESG dimensions for companies within its portfolio are key drivers for higher, longer term risk-adjusted returns. This active, high conviction approach results in a hand-picked portfolio that is poised to generate long-term value.
