Climate Change Risk

pilipili believes that anthropogenic climate change poses substantial risk (“CCR”) to human and natural systems, and that local and international efforts to reduce dependence on fossil fuels are critical to addressing this risk. pilipili believes how companies respond to this risk, and to efforts, is an important consideration when assessing long-term value.  Companies which deny the reality of climate change and fail to take actions to address this risk, or oppose actions to mitigate climate change, may pose an unwarranted risk to the Endowment Funds.  Staff’s formal reviews of investment managers will include specific questions on CCR in the respective investment strategies.  Consistent with the Principles of Responsible Investing, related measures will be reviewed and reported on an ongoing basis.

Likewise, subject to assessment of business strategy, management and financial metrics, opportunities in alternative energy and other technologies to mitigate the impacts of CCR have the potential to be good investments.
