2023 Sustainability Report: Value Creation Through Sustainable Investing
By Cindy Bohlen, CFA
A Strong Commitment to Sustainability
This Earth Day, Riverwater Partners is proud to share our 2023 Sustainability Report. The theme of this year’s report is Value Creation Through Responsible Investing. At the core of this is our belief that the purpose of every business is to generate value—and that success goes beyond economic gains to encompass broader societal value.
Our Responsible Investment Philosophy
Our investment philosophy is centered on the responsible use of physical, human, and financial capital. We select investments that demonstrate a strong capacity for sustainable operations, measured not only by financial returns, but also by their positive impact on society and minimal environmental footprint. Our goal is to grow and protect the assets entrusted to us by our clients, ensuring financial success with environmental and social responsibility.
Active Engagement and Continuous Monitoring
We maintain a comprehensive ESG database and perform ongoing research and due diligence to monitor and engage with our investments. This ensures they meet our rigorous sustainability and value creation criteria. By working with seasoned managers and sustainability experts, we strive to ensure that the dollars we invest on behalf of our clients do more than generate economic value—they also contribute positively towards a sustainable future.
Sustainable Business Practices
We also prioritize responsible practices within our own operations. Our aim is to create a positive work environment and actively contribute to community and environmental preservation efforts. This holistic approach to business is what sets Riverwater apart as a leader in sustainable investing.
Invitation to Collaborate
As we share our achievements and ongoing efforts this Earth Day, we invite our clients, partners, and the wider community to join us in pushing forward the agenda of sustainable and responsible investment. Together, we can make a significant impact and ensure a prosperous future for all.
