Annapolis, Md. (October 23, 2024) – Realterm, a leading independent global investment manager focused on the transportation industry, today announced that it has become a signatory to the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). By signing on to PRI, Realterm joins a global network of institutional investors committed to incorporating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into their investment decision-making processes.
“Becoming a PRI signatory reinforces Realterm’s dedication and commitment to responsible investing and sustainability,” said Kelly Johnson, Global Vice President of Sustainability at Realterm. “This commitment not only aligns with our core values, but we believe this will also enhance our ability to manage sustainability risks. We look forward to collaborating with other signatories and leveraging PRI’s resources to further integrate ESG considerations into our investment processes.”
PRI is an independent organization that encourages investors to use responsible investment practices to enhance returns and better manage risks. Supported by, but not part of, the United Nations, PRI provides a framework for investors to consider ESG issues in their investment and ownership decisions.
As a PRI signatory, Realterm joins more than 3,000 other signatories representing more than $100 trillion in assets under management. This membership provides Realterm with access to a global network; educational resources; best practices in responsible investing; and networking events and specialized training.
