"Cameron-Cole and csrnetwork provided valuable assistance developing and writing the report, and we are pleased with the result," said Joe Keefe, Senior Advisor, Strategic Social Policy, Calvert Group, Ltd. "It provides a firm basis to build upon as we move forward."
Calvert is the first U.S.-based socially responsible mutual fund firm to publish a report using the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines as a framework. The report focuses on Calvert's performance in the same areas that Calvert researches when analyzing corporate performance for its mutual fund portfolios. Since so much of Calvert's business involves assessing other companies' social and environmental performance, Calvert found it a natural progression to turn the mirror on themselves. The Calvert Sustainability Report constitutes the company's first systematic attempt to assess its own social and environmental performance.
Calvert is the nation's largest family of socially responsible mutual funds, with $10 billion in assets under management among thirty funds. Calvert also maintains the Calvert Social Index (TM), a benchmark for measuring the performance of large U.S.-based socially responsible companies.
