Sustainability
Sustainability at Aristotle Capital
We take into account environmental, social and governance factors as part of our analysis of businesses, as well as any potential risks. We believe that over the long term, sustainability and ESG considerations can be strongly interconnected and can have an impact on risks and returns of the companies in which we invest.
While today, many of these important topics are labeled by others as “ESG factors”, our investment team has long-held these factors as essential to long-term business sustainability. Ultimately, we believe our research supports our main objective—the successful execution of our investment philosophy and process with the goal of preserving and growing our clients’ capital while seeking to mitigate risk.
“Every art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and pursuit, is thought to aim at some good; and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim.”
