Marking a major milestone in Vassar College’s overall strategy and commitment to protecting the environment, the Board of Trustees has ramped-up its ongoing efforts to address climate change by amending its investment policy to explicitly include environmental and sustainability considerations. The Board further noted that Vassar does not have any direct investments in fossil fuels, and does not plan to make any in the future. The policy, adopted by a unanimous vote of the board on October 15, also explicitly directs its financial managers to evaluate environmental, social and governance considerations in the selection of underlying managers. The Trustees further expressed their commitment to consider investments that support a transition to a green economy.
