Does the institution have a policy, practice or directive to consider the social and/or environmental impacts of investment decisions, in addition to financial considerations?:
A brief description of the sustainable investment policy:
The policy for the UW Consolidated Endowment Fund references certain ethical considerations that should be
considered in addition to financial considerations. These ethical considerations include the "degree of corporate
responsibility exercised by the companies." In addition, the clause prohibits investments in "companies doing
business in Sudan whose business activities support the Sudanese government in its continuing sponsorship of
genocidal actions and human rights violations in Darfur" and in tobacco companies. The UW also takes action as appropriate in support of shareholder resolutions related to human rights violations in Burma.
