Wespath commentary on ESG investing published by UM News

You have likely heard some media pundits and elected officials label ESG investing as "woke" or politicized. (The acronym "ESG" stands for environmental, social and governance.) In conjunction with the launch of our new Sustainable Investment Report, Wespath Chief Investment Officer Dave Zellner explains how Wespath's approach clearly stands apart from the noise in a commentary published by United Methodist News. He details what ESG means to Wespath and shares some of our sustainable investing successes.
