Engagement
Stewardship Priorities
The CalSTRS Sustainable Investment and Stewardship Strategies unit uses our influence as a significant global investor to promote long-term sustainable business practices and public policies. We engage publicly traded companies in order to support long-term value creation as well as mitigate risk to our portfolio and the financial market as a whole. To guide these efforts, the Teacher’s Retirement Board approved the CalSTRS Stewardship Priorities.
Corporate Governance Principles
CalSTRS has developed robust principles, policies and standards for fair and open governance of corporations.
The value of engagements
CalSTRS invests a multi-billion dollar fund in a unique and complex social-economic milieu and recognizes we can neither operate nor invest in a vacuum. As a significant investor with a long-term investment horizon, engagement is a critical tool used by the CalSTRS Sustainable Investment and Stewardship Strategies team to influence changes in public policies and corporate practices that support long-term value creation.
