      "Where appropriate, the investment team should engage with investee (or prospective investee) companies in regard to their ESG policies and their management of ESG risks. The objective of such engagement is to enhance the certainty of long-term cash flow generation we expect from the company....In order to fully understand the business risks facing a company investors should consider environmental risks and opportunities that might affect the future operations of a company including issues such as pollution, climate change, resource depletion, ecosystem change...As part of the ongoing analysis of companies, ESG issues will be explicitly reviewed on an annual basis. The focus of this analysis will be whether and how ESG issues affect the potential distribution of future cash flow generation and, accordingly, whether the qualitative ratings for the company appropriately reflect underlying risks....ESG Issues Checklist - Sustainable sourcing, Deforestation"
