The Teachers’ Retirement Board is charged with maintaining a strong, stable fund in order to pay benefits to CalSTRS members and their survivors. To fulfill that responsibility, the board understands that long-term value creation includes the incorporation of sustainability considerations into management of the portfolio.

The Sustainable Investment and Stewardship Strategies program supports CalSTRS’ mission of securing the financial future of California’s educators through three avenues:

• Sustainable Investment: Allocating capital to investments that deliver financial performance while simultaneously creating positive environmental, social and governance outcomes.
• Stewardship: Using our influence as a significant global investor to promote sustainable business practices and public policy.
• Strategic Relations Management: Securing the trust of the members that we serve and maintaining our position as a respected leader in the investment industry.
