INVESTMENT FOCUS PRODUCTS INSIGHTS LITERATURE ABOUT CONTACT Hello, Guest Login Register Environmental, Social & Governance Site ESG Home Shareholder Advocacy Policies ESG Literature Our firm launched its first ESG (environmental, social, and governance) strategy over a quarter century ago, and many of our investment portfolios today incorporate ESG principles. With the goal of income growth and sustainable, long-term returns, we use an integrated approach that combines robust financial analysis with research into a company's ESG policies and practices. Depending on the product, our shareholder advocacy efforts may include screening, direct engagement with companies, filing shareholder resolutions, proxy voting, coalition building, and public policy involvement. ESG-integrated investments: Protect shareholder value. ESG mitigates risk and encourages companies to adopt best practices and be accountable to investors. Identify risks and opportunities. Looking through an ESG lens helps us assess material issues that may not start on the balance sheet, but could ultimately end up there. Invite active ownership. Our shareholder advocacy and engagement efforts often influence company policies and make management aware of what matters to investors. Learn about our commitment to ESG > LUAN JENIFER PRESIDENT “What are our goals when we engage a company? Risk mitigation and promotion of shareholder value. Each engagement represents an issue we've identified as material to the company, and a sign of either opportunity or risk—and sometimes both. We want to see the company takes actions to adequately address—or begin to address—these concerns.” Previous Next View All Our Products VIDEO ESG Is In Our DNA ARTICLE Shareholder Advocacy & Engagement Report 2020-2021 ARTICLE Miller/Howard’S ESG Investment Policy DISCLOSURE INVESTMENT PRODUCTS: ARE NOT FDIC INSURED - MAY LOSE VALUE - ARE NOT BANK GUARANTEED Opinions and estimates offered constitute Miller/Howard Investments' judgment and are subject to change without notice, as are statements of financial market trends, which are based on current market conditions.
