Holdings (as of 11/30/25)

For information relating to the sustainability attributes of our holdings, please select the individual security below for additional insights.

  • NVIDIA Corp. (5.27%)
    Nvidia’s GPU chips accelerate computing power, thereby helping the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI). While AI may cause disruption, the adoption of new technology has led to improved living standards throughout history.

    Harvard Medical School (HMS) explains some of the benefits of AI. HMS writes, “AI can automate tasks to free up a clinician’s time to focus more on their patients… [AI] can automatically capture visit notes and store them in a patient’s medical record, even flagging key details and insights.” HMS also notes, “AI can help clinicians better interpret imaging results.” HMS further adds, “AI can also support clinical decision-making. When clinicians are looking at similar cases to predict who will best respond to certain treatment options, AI can help them better personalize their treatment regimens.”

    The International Energy Administration (IEA) also explains some potential benefits and writes, “AI and energy are the new power couple.” The IEA adds, “One of the most common uses for AI by the energy sector has been to improve predictions of supply and demand. Developing a greater understanding of both when renewable power is available and when it’s needed is crucial for next-generation power systems.”
  • UL Solutions Inc. Class A (4.03%)
    UL Solutions, with its iconic UL logo, traces its history back to the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago when its eventual founder was assigned by his employer to assess fire risks associated with electricity. Since that time, UL Solutions has continued to verify the functionality and safety of numerous products used by industries and consumers. UL Solutions simply states it has been “working for a safer world since 1894.”
  • Microsoft Corp. (3.96%)
    Microsoft has ambitious environmental goals, stating it wants to be “carbon negative, water positive, and [generate] zero waste” by 2030. The company aims to be carbon negative by using fossil-free sources of energy (renewables, nuclear), while also embracing programs that remove carbon from the atmosphere (regenerating areas of the Brazilian rainforest, pulling carbon dioxide directly out of the air). Microsoft’s water initiatives include restoring wetlands and providing clean water for people living in developing regions. Microsoft continues to focus on mitigating waste; the company already reuses or recycles more than 90% of its servers and components. Microsoft also requires certain levels of recycled steel and plastic in its hardware.
  • Rockwell Automation Inc. (3.12%)
    Rockwell Automation states it is “the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation.” Automation refers to using machines for the production of goods. A Wall Street Journal article titled, “The High Cost of Impeding Automation” wrote, “history tells us that policies aimed at restricting or slowing automation come with a steep price tag. It is important to remember that the acceleration in economic growth that followed the Industrial Revolution… was caused by the steady adoption of automation technologies that allowed us to produce more with fewer people. Before 1750, per capita income in the world doubled every 6,000 years. Thereafter, it has doubled every 50 years.”
  • Alphabet Inc. – Class A (3.11%)
    Our firm believes Alphabet/Google made a socially conscious decision when it withdrew from China in 2010 for several reasons, including disputes with the Chinese government over censorship of its search results. Google has also outlined principles that guide its development of artificial intelligence (AI) applications, such as developing applications that adhere to certain safety standards. Google’s principles can be found at ai.google/responsibility/principles.
  • Apple Inc. (2.96%)
    Apple achieved “carbon neutrality” for its offices, retail centers, and data centers in 2018. Apple now aims to have its entire supply chain achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. Carbon neutrality is achieved through renewable energy and projects that remove carbon from the atmosphere, such as planting forests.

    Apple is regarded as a leader in protecting user privacy. The company’s Safari browser “hides your IP address from trackers so what you look at on the web remains your business — not an advertiser’s.” Apple also adds, “Your iMessage and FaceTime conversations are encrypted end-to-end, so they can’t be read while they’re sent between devices.”
  • Schneider Electric SE (2.85%)
    Schneider Electric, headquartered in France, is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of electrical equipment. Products include circuit breakers, transformers, and wiring. Schneider’s electrical offerings will be needed as the world transitions away from fossil fuel-based energy and toward electrical energy that is hopefully powered by renewables. Examples of electricity displacing fossil fuels include electric vehicles, heat pumps, and furnaces used in industrial processes (steel production, glass manufacturing). Schneider Electric states that electricity accounts for roughly 20% of global energy consumption and projects this figure will increase to 50% by 2050.
  • Broadcom Inc. (2.74%)
    One concern with artificial intelligence is the vast amount of energy used in the data centers that house computing equipment.

  • Mastercard, Inc. – A (2.48%)
    Mastercard’s network facilitates billions of credit and debit card transactions every year. Consumers increasingly use cards instead of cash due to their convenience. Foregoing cash also has benefits for retailers. The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco writes, “Several businesses that have gone cashless have cited benefits like faster transactions and increased store throughput.” The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco also adds, “cash-intensive businesses can be targets for robberies.” Robberies include theft from dishonest employees and external theft.
  • Nexans SA (2.46%)
    France-based Nexans manufactures cables used in the transmission of electricity. Electricity will be an increasingly important energy source if the world shifts away from fossil fuels. Examples of applications where electricity can displace fossil fuels include electric vehicles and heat pumps.
  • Grail Inc. Com (2.42%)
    Grail’s Galleri test tries to identify more than fifty types of cancer from a blood sample — this test is sometimes called a liquid biopsy.

  • Carrier Global Corp. (2.35%)
    Carrier is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units. There are concerns about the amount of energy used by air conditioners. Although, Carrier is pushing into heat pumps – which can provide heating and cooling in an energy efficient manner. The International Energy Agency writes, “Heat pumps currently available on the market are three‐to‐five times more energy efficient than natural gas boilers.”
  • Analog Devices Inc. (2.33%)
    Analog Devices designs chips that translate analog signals associated with the real world (e.g., temperature, pressure, weight, light, sound) into digital signals that can be used by electronic systems. The company’s largest end markets are Industrial Equipment and Automotive. Analog Devices writes that within its industrial markets, it “empowers manufacturers to make informed decisions that drive energy and operational efficiency.” Analog Devices’ chips for the auto industry enable advanced safety features. Analog Devices’ chips are also used widely in electric vehicles, where they help to manage power withdrawals and monitor the battery system.
  • Interface, Inc. (2.31%)
    Interface manufactures carpet tiles, which are often found in offices. All of Interface’s flooring products are “carbon neutral,” meaning Interface purchases carbon offsets to offset the emissions released during manufacturing (offset programs support solar and wind projects, or forest protection projects). Interface has also released a “carbon negative” carpet that uses recycled material and plant-based products. The end result is that more carbon is stored in the carpet than was released during the manufacturing process. Interface’s renewed focus on sustainability was documented in the movie Beyond Zero, which is available on Amazon Prime.
