Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
1) Our exposure to renewable energy and sustainable forestry is through private equity fund of funds managers. Given the nature of these investments, determining exact value of specific properties or companies is not feasible.
2) We likely have holdings in the many publicly-traded financial institutions embark on community development projects and other public/private partnerships.
