CARVAL INVESTORS RESPONSIBLE INVESTING POLICY
CarVal believes that ESG factors can have a material influence on investment outcomes. As such, CarVal’s Responsible Investing Policy is consistent with CarVal’s fiduciary responsibility to maximize returns for its investors. The specific goals of this policy are:
- Implement procedures that can be reasonably expected to identify those investments or transactions in which ESG factors may be material;
- Implement procedures to ensure that investment professionals are knowledgeable regarding Responsible Investing, providing ongoing training where required;
- Ensure that appropriate personnel have the necessary tools to incorporate ESG factors into investment decision making, where such factors are relevant;
- Provide a governance framework (i.e., the establishment of a Responsible Investing Committee) within which CarVal may monitor and review the effectiveness and operation of its Responsible Investing Policy;
- Implement procedures for the monitoring and reporting of responsible investment practices at an investment, fund and firm level.
