Bringing the Voice of Sustainable Investing to Policymakers

Policy Overview

US SIF recognizes the profound impact that policymakers and regulators have on the sustainable investment field and the distinct voice that US SIF members bring to policy discussions.

Our policy program works to advance a regulatory agenda that maintains and enhances the sustainable and impact investment field. In collaboration with our Public Policy Committee, the policy team creates educational resources and provides our members with opportunities to share insights directly with policymakers.

Policy Priorities

US SIF engages with policymakers on a range of topics that affect our members and the field of sustainable investing.

Shareholder Rights

Engaging directly with companies about their sustainability risks and opportunities is a key strategy employed by many of our members. US SIF supports public policies that maintain the tools that investors use to engage with the companies they own, including the shareholder proposal process.

Market Transparency

US SIF supports public policies that promote corporate reporting of uniform, consistent, and comparable sustainability risks and opportunities. Without transparency in the capital markets, investors cannot make the best financial decisions for their clients.

Sustainable Investing Practices

Our members use a range of strategies to incorporate financially relevant sustainability information into their businesses. US SIF supports policies that empower investors to use the strategies that generate the most value for their clients.
