As of 2021, the University's Investment Policy now includes the following statement:
"In accordance with the Illinois Sustainable Investing Act (30 ILCS 238/), investment staff will strive to prudently integrate environmental impact, social impact and governance factors across the investment program, including investment decision-making, investment analysis, portfolio construction, due diligence and investment ownership. Factors to be considered may include, but are not limited to: (1) corporate governance and leadership factors; (2) environmental factors; (3) social capital factors; (4) human capital factors; and (5) business model and innovation factors."
