A brief description of the sustainable investment policy:

Information taken from the WWU Endowment Investment Policy.

2.3.8. Social Responsibility.

The pursuit of the responsible investing objective shall be guided by the following policies:

2.3.8.1. The Foundation shall prohibit direct investments in tobacco and alcohol companies.

2.3.8.2. The Foundation will offer a screened fund for donors who request their donation to an endowment fund be placed in socially responsible investments.
