When we started Good Capital in 2018, we built our practice around the idea that achieving financial goals was possible alongside creating positive societal and environmental impact. We whole-heartedly believed that what we were doing not only felt right, but would work from a sustainable business perspective. Granted we also had done a ton of research before diving in and committing ourselves to this work. Fast forward to 2022, and it’s incredible to see how far we’ve come, how much of an impact we’ve already had, and how much more we are striving for.
Now to present to you all the change our clients aka impact investors have created over the past year. Drumroll please…
Our 2021 Impact Report is out!
This report illustrates some of the positive societal and environmental impact we created on behalf of our clients in the past year. We think it’s important not only to talk about the benefits of impact investing, but also to show you the tangible change we’re pushing for. Here are a few highlights:
We’ve helped our clients divest thousands from industries such as coal, private prisons, weapons, and tobacco.
Through our fund proxy votes, we’ve voted on 20,164 issues across a wide spectrum including issues related to environment, social, and corporate governance (ESG).
We used our voice alongside fellow impact investors to stop the financing of two new private prisons in Alabama through investor sign-on letters and public pressure.
Good Capital was awarded ‘Best for Customers’ by scoring in the top 5% of all B Corps.
