About Us

US SIF: The Sustainable Investment Forum is the leading voice advancing sustainable investing across all asset classes. Our mission is to rapidly shift investment practices toward sustainability, focusing on long-term investment and the generation of positive social and environmental impacts.

Our vision is that environmental, social and governance impacts are meaningfully assessed in all investment decisions resulting in a more sustainable and equitable society.

Our members, representing $5 trillion in assets under management or advisement, include investment management and advisory firms, mutual fund companies, ​asset owners, data and research firms, financial planners and advisors, broker-dealers, banks, credit unions, community development financial institutions and non-profit associations.
US SIF is supported in its work by the US SIF Foundation, a 501(C)(3) organization that undertakes educational, research and programmatic activities to advance the mission of US SIF.
 
US SIF’s and the US SIF Foundation’s primary activities and strategies for advancing sustainable investing include:
  1. Producing cutting edge research, including our biennial Report on US Sustainable Investing Trends, as well as fact sheets and guidebooks on sustainable investing;
  2. Offering education and training through online, live virtual and in-person courses for financial professionals and retail investors. We also offer, in collaboration with the College for Financial Planning, the only sustainable investment designation in the United States; 
  3. Advancing public policy initiatives through outreach to legislators and regulators and through providing our members with opportunities to engage in this work;
  4. Increasing public awareness of and demand for sustainable investing through engagement with and education of the media and through speaking at key investor events; 
  5. Providing opportunities for US SIF members to enhance their professional expertise through US SIF webinars, other programs and networking; and 
  6. Providing opportunities for the sustainable and impact investing community to convene at our annual national conference and at local events.
