"We’re thrilled to welcome Rachel to the team,” said Bryan McGannon, Acting CEO of US SIF.
Thanks @POTUS for this veto---it's the right thing to do for participants in retirement plans and it's the right thing to do in order to adequately address issues like climate change in investment portfolios. #ESG#sustainableinvestment@US_SIF@USDOL
I just vetoed my first bill.
This bill would risk your retirement savings by making it illegal to consider risk factors MAGA House Republicans don't like.
Your plan manager should be able to protect your hard-earned savings — whether Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene likes it or not.
Great to host @MariaLettini today in @US_SIF office. Maria is a long-term US SIF member, committed to sustainability and a friend (and most importantly, always joining on the conference dance floor). I am looking forward to seeing what she does as US SIF's next CEO. #ESG
.@JudyHeumann was a legend...a warrior for disability rights and thus, for a better and more equal society. I will forever appreciate her generosity in sharing her life's work with us at the 2021 @us_sif conference. https://t.co/8FHYAB1dwg
“I am delighted to welcome Julie and Dan to the board and appreciate that Iyassu and Jonas will both serve another term. The members of the US SIF board play a critical role in advancing US SIF...” - @LisaWoll_USSIF @US_SIF

@Rep_Magaziner Thanks for being a founding member of the Congressional Sustainable Investment Caucus and for speaking at the launch! @US_SIF enjoyed working w/ you as RI Treasurer and we look forward to working with you in Congress. #ESG#policy#sustainableinvesting
I’m thrilled to be a founding member of the Sustainable Investment Caucus.
As the former Treasurer of Rhode Island, I know that investors deserve the freedom to consider environmental, social and governance factors when deciding where to allocate capital.
Today US SIF presented the findings of our Report on US Sustainable Investing Trends 2022 to @SECGov. There, we discussed the leading #ESG issues identified, the types of institutions engaged in #SustainableInvesting + trends over time. Learn more: https://t.co/OSKkkLNJOr
The launch of the Congressional Sustainable Investment Caucus today was fantastic! Thank you @MattPatsky @TreasurerDavis@SethMagaziner@RepCasten@RepJuanVargas @LisaWoll_USSIF
We are excited to continue working to promote policies that advance the sustainable investing field!
@US_SIF Foundation Report on US Sustainable Investing Trends is particularly interesting this year. Modified methodology + @SECGov release of a proposal on ESG disclosure by funds and advisors = impact on the total US sustainable investment AUM. #USSIF_Trends2022#sustaininvest
The @US_SIF Foundation today released its 2022 Report on US Sustainable Investing Trends, the 14th edition of its biennial report. Learn about the types of institutions engaged in sustainable investing + the leading #ESG issues addressed: https://t.co/oxqaj8akOB #USSIF_Trends2022
It was wonderful to meet again in person with my @GlobalSIF colleagues. We have much to do together to keep advancing sustainable investment. And it's always a pleasure to learn from one another and have fun too. #Barcelona@UKSIF@Eurosif@RIAANews@RIACanada
Looking forward to joining @LSamuelrich@leslienortonnyc@finance_therapy for a conversation on how to talk about sustainable investing with family and friends over the holidays.... There won't be pumpkin pie, but it will be fun!
Join @leslienortonnyc@finance_therapy @LisaWoll_USSIF and @LSamuelrich this week to hear about climate change, and #ESG, and how to discuss these subjects with family during the holidays. You won’t want to miss out! https://t.co/PlhLRXQ9sn
Pablo Eisenberg was the real deal--personally & professionally. As a 20 something, I worked @communitychange offices when I ran Friends of VISTA. He taught me that social justice work could be joyful & that it was our job to challenge powerful institutions--lessons to live by.
This job has been the ride of my professional life. I am honored to have had the opportunity to lead US SIF and to be partners w/our members and so many colleagues. As Serena Williams said at this year’s US Open, “I am not retiring, but evolving.” Read the release below for more.
After 16 years, on Jan 31 @LisaWoll_USSIF will step down as CEO. The Board is grateful for Lisa’s leadership during a period of incredible growth and change for the sustainable investment industry. To read more, click here: https://t.co/UjxJraV2dn
@Jon_F_Hale Terrible policies. Total denial of reality of climate crisis. As sung in Hamilton “history has its eyes on you” and this group is solidly on the wrong side of history.
.@SFOF_States Being on the wrong side of history is not a good look & it's not good public policy. Globally, investors are increasingly addressing climate change risks in portfolios. Isn't your job to protect the interests of retirees rather than the fossil fuel industry?
"Over the past year, treasurers in nearly half the United States have been coordinating tactics and talking points...to protect the fossil fuel companies that bolster their local economies." https://t.co/vhduCyiYKm via @nytimes#ESG#climatechange
@US_SIF is thrilled that federal employees now have an option to choose funds that focus on critical environmental, social and governance issues! So many federal employees have deep commitments to these issues and it's about time that their investment portfolio can reflect that.
The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) is the nation's largest #retirement plan. @LisaWoll_USSIF and @bryanmcgannon argue why the TSP's new mutual fund window – including #ESG options – is long overdue, + they offer suggested improvements: https://t.co/ATIDuFv9Cr via @asset_mgmt. #policy
Our CEO @LisaWoll_USSIF spoke on @TheEconomist podcast about #ESG and #sustainableinvesting. US SIF has been talking about needing more accountability and transparency in the field as early as 2014. Check it out here for more: https://t.co/jwksQ0FnB8 #policy
.@US_SIF is hiring a new Director of Policy & Programs (https://t.co/JYJjCbxLuE) as our current one is being promoted to Managing Director. It's an amazing time to work on sustainable investment policy issues. I'd appreciate your help getting the word out about this great role.
Another Supreme Court decision that moves the country in the wrong direction. We need every possible tool to address climate change, but the court decided to instead limit the EPA's ability to regulate carbon emissions from power plants. https://t.co/BsEfIKD97D
With some of the awesome people I get to work with @US_SIF --- after our board meeting and getting ready for our 11th Annual Conference #Forum2022. Scenery making everyone look even better!! #sustainableinvesting#ESG#policy
