US SIF

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

US SIF: The Sustainable Investment Forum is a US-based membership association located in Washington, DC. Its mission is to promote sustainable investing across all asset classes.[1]

Education

[edit]

The US SIF Foundation's Center for Sustainable Investment Education provides education, research and thought leadership on sustainable investment to investors, investment advisors, consultants and analysts.[2]

Public policy

[edit]

The US SIF Public Policy Program supports an agenda that advances sustainable investment to the national legislative and executive branches of government.[3] Through US SIF, the sustainable investment industry brings a distinct voice and set of priorities to legislative and regulatory initiatives. Establishing standards for reporting and ESG analysis will likely need regulatory changes.[4]

In an effort to counter pushback against ESG investing by Republican policy makers in 2022, US SIF published a detailed response to those attacks.[5]

Events

[edit]

US SIF has organized an annual conference since 2011.[6] Conferences are focused on a broad range of environmental, social and governance issues, centered on substantive sessions and networking opportunities.
