Environmental, Social, and Governance.

We believe, without question, that humans have a significant impact on the planet, within the natural environment as well as upon our social cultures, personal beliefs, and how we organize and govern ourselves. Opus Sierra believes these Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) impacts become intensified when people organize themselves into companies and institutions. As investors, our goal is to magnify the positive and mitigate and reduce the negative outcomes of our actions. This requires a mindset that considers all stakeholders, not just those economically involved. Opus Sierra’s action-oriented approach places great emphasis on our mission to create sustainability and lasting impact for all stakeholders, balancing idealism with pragmatism, for the improvement of our companies and communities.
