I am Christina Alfandary, Managing Director of ESG here at GAMCO.
I am frequently asked about Environmental, Social & Governance issues ?
In a world where the population will grow from 7.5B to 10 billion by 2050, but where we will need 30% more energy , food, a water by 2030 to sustain this population growth, investors need to understand how companies will adapt to long term resource constraints. This includes understanding Environment, Social , & Governance issues relevant to their business.
As fundamental stock-pickers, we are constantly looking for investing opportunities and researching long term trends. We seek companies that are undervalued and consider both financial and non-financial information. Understanding ESG issues helps us evaluate both risks & opportunities for these companies and industries.
GAMCO has been investing for decades in companies involved around innovation in energy, water, waste management and health & wellness. While staying true to our PMV + catalyst investment methodology, we have researched and invested in companies such as NExtera Energy, a leading clean energy company, Xylem, a water solutions company and Johnson Controls, the well known maker of more energy efficient automotive batteries. By understanding the ESG issues of companies, we are able to use this additional information to help inform our investment decision making. This is why ESG matters.
