ABOUT THE POSITION
Calvert Research and Management, a subsidiary of Eaton Vance, is a recognized leader in responsible investing. We believe Responsible Investing that includes Calvert’s Four Pillars — Performance, Research, Engagement and Impact — is the best way to achieve a positive societal impact and favorable investment results. As Responsible Investing gains ground, more investment managers are offering environment, social and governance (ESG)-focused investments. But not all Responsible Investment strategies are created equal. At Calvert, Responsible Investing is all that we do. The company traces its roots to Calvert Investments, which in 1982 launched the first mutual fund to avoid investment in companies doing business in apartheid-era South Africa. Today, the Calvert Funds are one of the largest and most diversified families of responsibly invested mutual funds, encompassing actively and passively managed U.S. and international equity, fixed and floating-rate income, and multi-asset strategies.
