Rethink Your Wealth This Earth Day: Go Beyond ESG Investing

Earth Day 2025 is here, and this year’s theme - “Our Power, Our Planet” - reminds us that creating a livable future isn’t just about hope. It’s about action. Tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030 is possible, but only if we put our money where our values are.

For many ImpactFI clients, that work is already underway.

Voting With Your Wallet — And Your Shares

At ImpactFI, we believe that wealth is a form of power. And our clients have been using that power intentionally.

In the most recent proxy season, here’s how ImpactFI clients voted on climate-related shareholder proposals:

  • 24% voted for proposals that support action on climate change
  • Less than 1% voted against climate action proposals
  • Less than 1% voted for prioritizing profits over environmental or social goals

Your votes are pushing companies toward greater transparency, stronger climate commitments, and real-world change. And that matters.

Because while investing in cleaner portfolios is critical, owning shares also gives you a seat at the table. Every proxy vote is an opportunity to demand better.

Why ESG Labels Aren’t Enough Anymore

It’s easy to slap an ESG label on a fund and call it a day. But many so-called “sustainable” investments still hold big positions in fossil fuel companies, weapons manufacturers, or industries that undermine climate justice.

That’s why Earth Day 2025 is a perfect moment to level up:

  • Dig deeper than ESG scores. Look for investments that actively drive the clean energy transition.
  • Divest from destruction. It's not enough to minimize harm; we need to build something better.
  • Use your voice. Whether it's proxy voting or shareholder advocacy, activism doesn't end when you buy the stock.

Our Power, Our Planet: Real Action You Can Take

This Earth Day, let’s commit to real impact:

  • Audit your portfolio for hidden exposure to fossil fuels, deforestation, or environmental harm.
  • Shift assets into funds and companies advancing clean energy, affordable housing, regenerative agriculture, and climate justice.
  • Vote your proxies in alignment with your values or work with an advisor who will make sure your voice is heard.

The clean energy transition isn’t a pipe dream - it’s already happening. And your financial choices can accelerate it.
