How Your “Impact Investment” Supports a Greener World
Impact investors care about investment returns AND how those returns are made

Even one retirement contribution can help create a greener tomorrow – if invested in the right mutual fund. As an investor, you should know that social, environmental, and financial returns aren’t mutually exclusive. You can choose both a diversified stock portfolio for long-term total returns and investments that support universal human dignity and ecological sustainability.
One way to choose responsible investments is to look for companies with meaningful mission statements that focus on social and environmental issues. Do they further human rights with labor standards and offer fair compensation? Do they support inclusivity, worker health and safety, and strong communities? What is their vision for climate change mitigation, resource conservation, and environmental stewardship?
Another option? Instead of doing all of this research yourself, you can look for an impact investing firm with experience finding and vetting socially-responsible companies.

For some, impact investing isn’t a trend; it’s a tradition
Impact investors are on a mission to seek to create positive social, environmental, and financial outcomes. One example is the impact investment firm led by Amy Domini and Carole Liable. For Amy, the Founder and Chair of Domini Impact Investments and the active fund manager of the Domini Impact Equity Fund, impact investing isn’t a trend; it’s a 30-year tradition.
Carole Laible, CEO of Domini Impact Investments, joined Domini in 1997. This pioneering partnership has influenced everything from the fossil fuel and weapon divestment to the widespread use of sustainability reports from the world’s largest corporations.
The pair aims to reinforce a better world by building a community of caring and impact. “We want to prove that what’s good for people and the planet is also good for business and attractive to investors,” says Laible.
