  • Calvert believes there is a direct relationship between a company's labor and diversity record and its financial performance and stability. 
  • In Calvert's view, companies with well-developed workplace policies, comprehensive programs and strong leadership commitment tend to fair better than their counterparts. 
  • Conversely, Calvert believes that discrimination suits, labor unrest, and poor wages and benefits all have negative effects on a company's ability to attract and retain talented employees, as well as damaging the company's public image and reputation.
