We extend our commitment to social and environmental impact through our investment portfolio and are dedicated to greater scrutiny of the companies in which we invest and the role they play in our society and global economy. We believe that doing the right thing for our people, the environment, and our communities leads to better results for all our stakeholders and the world.

Rethink Capital Partners (RCP) is dependent upon ESG information and data obtained through voluntary or third-party reporting that may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unavailable, which could cause RCP to incorrectly assess a potential investment’s ESG attributes and/or related risks and opportunities. While ESG is one of the many factors that the firm will consider in making an investment, there is no guarantee that RCP will successfully implement and make investments that create positive ESG impact, while enhancing value and achieving financial returns. ESG initiatives may not achieve the desired financial and social results, or the market or society may not view any such changes as desirable. Any successful engagement efforts on the part of RCP will depend, in part, on its skill in properly identifying and analyzing ESG data and factors, and the potential impact on value. There can be no assurance that any ESG techniques employed will be successful.
