A brief description of the socially responsible investment policy:
The University of Minnesota's Board of Regent's Policy on the endowment fund states that "the University shall consider social responsibility in its investment decisions" in its management of the endowment. While there is no formal policy regarding considering environmental/ sustainability factors, there are general practices with founded in the Board of Regents Energy Efficiency and Sustainability policy and Social Concerns Committee.
