In the industry, Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) is often used interchangeably with ESG investing, ethical investing, sustainable investing, green investing, or impact investing. But it isn't always clear what this means for you or your investments. We believe investors are catalysts for change in the behavior and the companies they invest in. Our approach centers on investing in companies that operate businesses with socially desirable products and services and the incorporation of ESG factors into investment decision-making, thus incentivizing better practices from the companies.

Just like greenwashing, rainbow washing is a tactic for companies to participate during LGBTQ Pride Month, but may not actually support the cause year round. It's important to hold companies accountable all year for supporting the rights of LGBTQ communities.

"As I’ve grown my business over the last few years I have gotten super interested in the world of investing but, truthfully, super overwhelmed as well. I think the biggest thing for me is that I want to invest in the future world I want to see, and with traditional investing, I’ve found that it is all too easy to accidentally end up investing in industries and practices that don’t align with my values."

Globally, women hold just 24% of senior leadership positions. Yet, companies in the top quartile for gender diversity are 15% more likely to outperform competition. It's no secret that gender equality can play a huge role in the success of a company, so why aren't more companies caring about this? 🤔

The ocean is in trouble. By 2050 it’s predicted there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean.* Pollution is causing ‘dead zones’, climate change is warming the ocean making it increasingly acidic, overfishing is putting species dangerously at risk and ecosystems are being ruined.

research found micro-plastics in the blood of 77% of people tested.

We are constantly exposed to plastics and don't really know how they will affect our health. It is time to hold companies and governments accountable for this issue!

According to , 2021 was a record setting year for female entrepreneurs.

Of 595 unicorn ($1 billion valuation) companies, 83 were founded by women. (When FFF began reporting on this data in 2013, there were only 4 female founded unicorns.)

Also, 7 US based, women-led companies went public in 2021.

We are so thrilled to see these businesses breaking barriers and can't wait to see what's to come.

When in doubt, always choose the more sustainable option.

Climate change and racial injustice are more linked than we maybe realize.

Communities in the Global South (Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Oceania) experience the impacts of climate change at a higher rate than the rest of the world, despite having little to no responsibility for the emissions that cause it.
