Domini 2021 Impact Report Highlights a Just Climate Transition, Corporate Emissions, and Access to Affordable Housing


Progress stems from the connections we make?between our money, our values, and an array of social and environmental issues. In 2021, assets in the five Domini Funds reached over $3 billion. For Domini, this growth has gone hand-in-hand with new efforts to understand critical global challenges and look closely at how companies are responding.

The Domini Funds' new report underscores how the legacy of our impact investment standards, in-house research, and investor community helped to address some of 2021's most pressing issues?the climate crisis, cyberwarfare threats, and a number of other sustainability priorities.

"Our future holds hope to be greater and greener as investors come together with a mutual care for people, planet and profit," says CEO Carole Laible. "We use our environmental and social investment standards to help us identify strong, long-term investments. We apply these standards consistently across all of our products as we believe it is how all investing should be done."

Highlights

The Domini Impact Equity Fund's portfolio was 61% less carbon intensive than its benchmark in 2021.
