Our investors also care... and we believe investors will increasingly need to focus on the sustainability of their portfolios Our approach to sustainable investing and ESG integration builds upon [our] active management legacy, with the understanding that every company has a specific subset of relevant ESG issues that are vital to long-term fundamental success... Our process avoids reliance on external scoring systems in favor of integrating sustainability analysis with long-term fundamental analysis, with a goal of generating superior performance for our investors. With this context in mind, we'd like to thank you for the example Ginkgo sets as a company that understands the intertwined nature of sustainability and strategy. In particular, we are impressed by the company's ability to grow and cultivate partnerships throughout the synbio community, which are likely to benefit long-term growth, effectiveness, and returns. We also note your proactive approach to employee ownership and voting structure, and your far-ranging work to develop an ethos of care throughout the company and the broader field. In the months and years to come, we look forward to assessing how these foundational strategies link to longer-term scientific and commercial success. Though for some investors this type of letter is an administrative process, for our team this is a core investment process, with the intention of highlighting the potential for long-term value creation for all stakeholders. The challenges of our current environment present unique opportunities for companies to extend their own potential and to contribute to thriving individuals, systems, society, and planet. We are grateful for your leadership. Excerpt from 2022 Annual Letter to Ginkgo from $175 billion AUM fundamental asset manager 25 Property of Ginkgo Bioworks Q2 2022 UPDATE & BUSINESS REVIEW
