The list highlights our impact assets under management and our strategic focus across key sectors (Rethink Education, Rethink Food, Rethink Community) and geographies. 💡 This list is a guide for investors, showcasing where capital is making a difference and inspiring future investments. 📊 By contributing our data, we're advancing transparency and driving momentum in impact investing, supporting a sustainable future across energy, housing, food, healthcare, education, nature and more. The launch of this initiative represents a key milestone for impact investing, providing a valuable resource for investors to align their portfolios with impactful and sustainable solutions. It also includes reporting on trend analysis from the GIIN by journalist Sarah Murray and an insightful op-ed from the GIIN's co-founder and CEO Amit Bouri. Check it out: https://lnkd.in/ehZAN34A #ImpactInvestorList2024 #ImpactInvesting Disclaimer: Published exclusively by the Financial Times (“FT”) on July 31, 2024, the Global Impact Investing Network (“GIIN”) produced a list of impact investing organizations that includes specific data from named firms, some with billions of dollars in impact assets. The GIIN’s 2024 investor research is based on data from 305 organizations that use an impact investing strategy. This data was collected using a questionnaire administered from January to March 31, 2024, whose purpose was to gather information about activities in impact investing, practices for measuring and managing impact, and industry perceptions. To gather a diverse sample, a survey invitation was distributed to individuals at 18,491 identified impact investor organizations, including subsidiaries and regional divisions. To meet the eligibility criteria, respondents must have either committed at least $10m in impact assets or completed at least five impact investing transactions since their inception. The impact AUM listed includes assets invested both directly and indirectly, leading to potential double counting. This recognition is or may be considered to be an endorsement by FT and/or GIIN of Rethink Capital Partners, LLC (the “Company).

Despite the heat, 18 dedicated Rethink Capital Partners employees went to Boni Bel Farm at Green Chimneys and made a tremendous impact! Green Chimneys is a local nonprofit that helps young people reach their full potential through residential, educational, clinical, and recreational services, fostering connections with family, community, animals, and nature. The team filled approximately 80 wheelbarrows with mulch to contain weeds along the perimeter fencing and around trees. They also weeded two large beds, filled two double wheelbarrows with weeds, and prepared the beds for planting kale next week. Thank you to the volunteers and Rethink Capital Partners for their commitment to community service. Your hard work and dedication are truly making a difference!
