"Our clients and colleagues are interested in how ESG issues impact our world and the economy," said Gabriela Parcella, chief executive officer of Mellon Capital. "Becoming a signatory to UN PRI signals our commitment to remain focused on these long term risks."
The Principles for Responsible Investment are designed to focus on long-term outcomes instead of short-term gains for business, with the intention of improving the balance between society’s present needs and the shrinking natural resources that will support future generations.
"Understanding and anticipating risks is essential to making prudent investment decisions," Parcella added. "We believe considering ESG issues enhance our ability to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our clients."
"Including Mellon Capital, there are now six BNY Mellon investment boutiques which have become UN PRI signatories," said Mitchell Harris, president of BNY Mellon Investment Management. "ESG factors may influence long-term returns. They no longer are a niche studied only by sustainable investment specialists."
