GreenBiz, August 3: When investors assess the risks and opportunities in a company, they cannot overlook the environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors. Founder and CEO of Cornerstone Capital Group, Erika Karp, urges players in the financial world to define “profit” more holistically and long-term: profit includes human capital and natural capital, not just financial returns.
Cornerstone Capital Group has joined the Pathstone family.
Cornerstone’s leadership and expertise in sustainable and impact investing will enhance Pathstone’s existing efforts in this increasingly important approach to portfolio construction. Culturally, we are well aligned: We both were formed by veterans of large financial institutions who sought to bring innovative new ideas to market; we both hold a fiduciary duty to clients as our leading priority; we both place high value on employee diversity and well-being; and we both are deeply committed to integrating customized financial and impact objectives into every client’s portfolio.
Together we can continue our focus on being a firm celebrated for our core values and recognized as “Built for Clients, Powered by Innovation and Smart in a Way that Matters.”
