Historically excluded under responsible investment frameworks, the defense sector is being reexamined amid shifting geopolitical realities. As the global order shifts and responsible investing evolves, defense companies continue to find themselves at the intersection of ethical concerns and national security.

Calvert's ultimate view of the sector is pragmatic and risk-aware. Defense is neither categorically excluded nor uncritically embraced. In a world marked by heightened geopolitical conflict, responsible investment requires selectivity, transparency and rigorous governance assessment. By maintaining a principles-based, materiality-driven framework, Calvert seeks to ensure that any defense exposure aligns with our values and supports long-term shareholder outcomes.
