There‘s $8.8 trillion waiting to transfer to Millennials, who want the world to work better by 2030. They just don’t know the power they have.

Millennials have strong opinions about climate change, gender equality, labor standards, social equity, decarbonization, animal rights and an overall awareness of what’s breaking the world, globally and in their own communities.

You’ve marched, you’ve donated, you buy sustainable products. But do you know what you’re investing in?

Now there is a potent response to sustainability, that anyone can make through their portfolio or 401K and no, it’s not just your thematic ETF.

UnifyImpact is democratizing ESG data for everyone. If you’re not sure what that means, think of it as giving you insight into how a company performs and how it impacts the world. The story of a company’s sustainable footprint is varied and vast, and although there is often a general awareness of “good” and “bad”, think cigarettes and oil. But even favored companies, like Apple or Amazon or Tesla have activities on both sides of the ledger.

UnifyImpact is the only investing app solely interested in ESG. And now we are giving you the scores on 20,000 publicly listed companies over a range of sustainable behaviors. Our scores come from a source of company self-reported data points, news, sentiment and social media. This is the kind of information that, until now, has been given directly to institutions and asset managers. And, unlike your passive, thematic funds? They may have a strong collection of companies who are performing well in one specific area, such as decarbonization, or clean water. Unpack the fund, company by company and with UnifyImpact, you will see how each company performs in all areas of sustainability.

With UnifyImpact you’re in good company. In 2020, UnifyImpact signed the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). Since 2006, the PRI initiative raises awareness about responsible investing among the global investment communities and fosters collaboration among companies and policymakers on ESG issues.

So what’s in it for you?

Companies that focus on environmental, social and governance factors can positively affect their business and their stakeholders. And you. Which means, knowing about company sustainability scores gives you the power to determine what to add to, or divest from. UnifyImpact gives you the knowledge, the scores and news, and the platform to talk with others about your investments, a particular company, or plan to submit a proxy shareholder vote on any stock in your 401k or portfolio.
