With major corporate climate action news this week (including Exxon Mobil losing board seats to climate activism), we're excited to launch new features and data sources to help you and your clients invest your values.
New features include transparent controversies information for every portfolio, new real-world portfolio metrics such as wind turbines built and factory farm animals saved, and new data on the biggest fossil-fuel funders and climate policy influencers.
