Investment Approach

Trillium uses a thematic approach to identify global companies that are driving the transition to a more sustainable economy. ESG screening is an integral part of Trilliums company selection process. Trilliums process involves an exclusionary screen designed to prevent the inclusion of companies based on the business activities. Companies which pass the exclusionary screens are then subject to a positive screening process. The positive screening process is designed to identify companies which meet the sustainability criteria specific to the Trillium Global Sustainable Opportunities Fund.
