Investing with purpose
We continually evaluate our investment portfolio against a range of environmental, social and governance guidelines, and we avoid certain investment types based on these guidelines. These guidelines are already in effect in the following areas:
Tobacco
We do not invest in assets engaged in producing traditional tobacco products or similar new products and technologies such as vape pens.
Banned weapons
We do not invest in assets engaged in manufacturing controversial weapons banned by several international treaties.
Our guiding principles
Our success as a business is guided by the principles of Value, Transparency and Sustainability, or VTS.
• Value: We provide products and solutions people need at a competitive price—backed by dedication to excellent customer service.
• Transparency: We communicate clearly and openly so people can understand what they're buying.
• Sustainability: Our products stand the test of time. We’re financially disciplined, so we’ll be here when customers need us.
