Member of USSIF
This fund is a member of a sustainable and responsible investing group, and has a posted policy on their consideration of diversity and equal employment opportunity policies and practices relating to employees, company ownership or contractors.
Combination of Positive and Restricted/Exclusionary Strategies - Pax seeks companies that encourage and foster diversity in the workplace, that offer transparency around policies and programs and that report on diversity performance. Pax World also addresses gender issues, including board diversity, through its proxy voting policies. For example, when voting on director elections, Pax World has a policy of withholding votes from, or where possible voting against, all slates of director nominees that do not include women. Pax World then registers its concerns with the company through a follow-up letter explaining the reason for our opposition to the all-male slate and encouraging the company to take steps to promote gender diversity and add women to its board of directors.  More
