The Future of SRI - Sustainable, Responsible, Impact Investing

Eight years ago I received the call asking me to consider joining Trillium Asset Management as CEO. Since that time, we have seen more interest than ever in the field of sustainable investing from a wide variety of institutions, mainstream money managers, and families often driven by women and millennials, bringing assets over to impact. But we are also keenly aware that since the election, the new Administration is actively working to dismantle many of the key policy initiatives we have advocated over the last 35 years. So we are at an interesting crossroads. Looking out over the horizon, I see six emerging trends that I believe shed light on the future of sustainable investing.

Chasing Arrows: The Continued Central Role of Recycling in the Circular Economy

A key tenet of the “circular economy” sustainability paradigm is the reduction in reliance on virgin materials. The goal is to create high-functioning products that flow from cradle to cradle instead of cradle to grave – that is, a closed-loop system, where products are reused rather than disposed of, as opposed to a linear, single-use oriented system. This goal is aptly captured by the classic chasing arrows symbol. Recycling helps build our economic, natural, and social capital, using fewer resources and protecting natural resources as well as impacted ecological systems. It can have positive social impacts as well. This article explores the continued role of recycling in supporting the circular economy.
