Specifically, you will appraise the companys work environment/organizational culture, financial stability, domestic and international financial growth opportunities, ethical practices, diversity/composition of its board of directors, corporate social responsibility practices, and evidence-based decision-making practices. Based on your evaluation, you will develop a report for the managers of the mutual fund that will include your recommendations as to whether this company aligns with the mutual funds investment philosophy, which emphasizes companies that are recognized for their practices related to ethics, social responsibility, and global expansion.
