Last week, I shared my perspective on sustainable investing during a House Financial Services Committee Roundtable.

As Maryland’s Comptroller, I sit on our state’s most important administrative boards, including the Board of Trustees of the State Retirement and Pension System. I take this role very seriously. Our state employees and retirees entrust our pension system with their retirement dollars, so we must protect their hard-earned money from risks.

One of the most significant risks to our financial system today is climate change, an issue that I have long considered of the utmost importance for Maryland’s future. So we must consider how to protect our retirement funds throughout this ongoing threat.

Human capital management also plays a major role in investment. Whether it’s labor, health, safety, or even ethical practices, how a company manages human capital can greatly affect its risk and investments, so we must also consider this.

My best,
