Fund Provider Response

All companies are exposed to varying levels of ESG risks. Mint analyses the most material ESG risks companies are exposed to, and we expect our investee companies to manage these risks appropriately. If their risk management falls short of our expectations, in most cases we prefer to engage with the company to encourage sustainable change. Engagement is preferred to divestment as divesting reduces our ability to positively influence.
