Corporate Responsibility
We make our standards around Corporate Responsibility public so that we may be held accountable via our firm’s reputation. It goes without saying that as a financial services firm, our reputation is our most important asset. For us, it is summed up in our most important corporate value: Be honorable.
As an asset manager, the longevity of our firm is dependent on our people. We work to cultivate a culture that prizes diversity of people and opinions because we believe that a wide range of perspectives is crucial to the long term sustainability of our company and in producing fresh ideas of differentiated origin.
Altera recognizes that environmental management is central to our business, important to our employees and key to aligning corporate efforts with what we promote in our investment business.
ESG screens during due diligence is an effective way to help characterize the externalities of a prospective investment. The practice of incorporating ESG information into investment decisions may help enhance risk-adjusted returns, regardless of whether or not a strategy has a sustainable mandate. There is not one correct approach but we focus on making research, data and insights available to all of our portfolio managers, and working with them to identify opportunities for enhanced risk assessment and due diligence improvements across all investment activities.
We have a practice dedicated to sustainable investment solutions that align capital with pre-defined outcomes across ESG and thematic impact approaches. This includes clean energy and infrastructure investments for clients who wish to access these transitioning sectors – as well as numerous themes driving social and humanitarian progress.
At Altera, we are committed to driving positive results – for the firm, for our people, and for our clients. We believe that having the best team positions us to meet the needs of
our clients and to have the best team, our people must bring a range of perspectives to the table and reflect the diversity of the communities where we live and work.
