About
Authentic, Woman-led, Employee-owned Global ESG Investors since 2003.
Our Vision
Redesign capitalism to require human, community, and environmental well-being as essential for financial success
Our Mission
Activate investor capital toward solutions for people and planet.
Our Name
Originally a common pasture for cattle grazing, since 1634 the Boston Common has served as a community space owned by no one, yet essential to all. Like “the Common”, our work stands at the intersection of the economic and social realms, fostering equitable prosperity in our local and global community.
Our Principles
We believe investors are drivers of change.
Investors have an opportunity and duty to activate capital in service of solutions for people and planet. We invest in and engage with companies that contribute to and benefit from fostering a more sustainable and equitable future.
We value our employees as our most important assets.
Using a human-centered approach, we prioritize the health and well-being of our employees, fostering an environment of growth, trust, innovation, equity, and inclusion.
We draw strength from our diversity.
The professional and lived experiences of our team are competitive advantages that enrich our culture. As a leading ESG investment manager and champion for diversity in a homogenous field, we bring a unique perspective to investing and generating impact.
We have a long-term model for success.
Our seasoned investment team, in-house research capabilities, and market-leading engagement strategies generate social & environmental impact and competitive financial returns.
We align our client’s missions with their investments.
As trusted advisors, we are guided and inspired by our clients, working together to align investments and values.
