Sustainable and responsible investing (SRI) integrates environmental, social, and governance factors into investment decisions to improve long-term returns while also considering an investment's societal impact. SRI recognizes that non-financial issues can influence corporate performance and risk. Boardwalk Capital helps clients customize SRI portfolios through individual stocks, funds, and separate accounts to meet financial needs and personal values. SRI indexes have provided competitive returns with lower volatility than the broader market.

2. What is Sustainable and Responsible
Investing (SRI)
SRI is much more than some green-washed, esoteric investment
philosophy. Quite the contrary.
SRI is an investment process that integrates two distinct disciplines
in order to improve long term investment returns. This approach
implicitly recognizes that corporate responsibility and societal
concerns are valid parts of investment decisions. SRI considers both
the investor's financial needs and an investment’s impact on society.
In the process of executing an SRI strategy, investors encourage
corporations to improve their practices on environmental, social, and
governance issues, reducing the risk that these issues will harm
company performance in the future.
On the surface, the mere existence of changing regulations, more volatile raw material prices,
and a more informed consumer means that companies are confronted with a more diverse set of
risks than ever before. Our analysis seeks to determine how well-prepared a firm is to meet such
challenges.
We believe that how a company deals with environmental and social issues can:
• Enhance the value of its brand
• Lower risks to profitability
• Decrease employee turnover
• Attract new customers or shareholders
• Lower its cost of capital
Our thesis is borne out in the results. Sustainable investment indexes have provided competitive
performance, with volatility that is lower than the broader market.
With more than ten percent of all U.S.-based investment programs following and SRI mandate of
some type, this is clearly a trend that has gained some momentum.

Why should I care about SRI? In a word: RISK
Environmental, Social and Governance (or ESG) factors have taken on increasing importance in recent
years. Both company managements and shareholders have seen the impact of these issues on share
prices and on profitability. Companies that fail to understand and address the competitive and
regulatory effects of these issues present higher levels of risk for investors. Despite the obvious
signs, too few investors are heeding the warning to more fully understand the companies that they
own.
How well a firm handles these issues reflects the character of that company and its management
team. Leadership in these areas has helped companies such as Nike, Coca-Cola and Tiffany & Co. to
create a sustainable competitive advantage, further building “their brand” and enhancing
shareholder value.
