Environmental, Social, and Governance.

Atwater Capital believes unequivocally that humans have profound impacts on the planet: on both the natural environment, as well as upon our socially constructed cultures, beliefs, and how we organize and govern ourselves We believe these Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) impacts become magnified when humans organize themselves into companies and institutions Hence, our goal as investors is to enhance the positive and mitigate and minimize the negative consequences of our actions This involves a mindset that considers all stakeholders, not just those who are directly economically represented; this involves a mindset that amplifies marginalized voices, whether that be in the representation of the general populace or of the natural environment
