“Our mission is to always deliver superior risk-adjusted investments that provide scalable and value-added solutions to our clients. But we’re also continuing to generate sustainable, long-term returns in a responsible manner that reflect ESG principles and aligns to our core values,” said Brian Woolfolk, head of the Institutional Division at Pacific Life.
By establishing the framework, Pacific Life is further expanding its efforts to impact the community, environment, and the underserved.
