Sustainable Investing: Easier than you think [Free; RSVP]

May 5, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Free

When you buy sustainable goods at Common Market, you’re not just making a purchase – you’re expressing your values. If you become an owner at Common Market, you’re going even further: you’re declaring your support for a business approach that properly balances People, Planet, and Profit.

What if you could do that on a larger scale? Well, you can, and the opportunity to do that is sitting right in your retirement funds or other investments. You’d be surprised at how easy it can be to redirect your investments to:

  • Invest in funds that promote clean energy, animal welfare, or women leadership
  • Invest with a company that actively votes to invest through a fund manager that actively votes to improve the companies you’re invested in
  • Divest from companies that are “bad actors” (however you want to define it).

This session will explain what sustainable investing is and how it creates positive change, while still benefiting your own financial future. It will also give you some concrete next steps to get started investing in ways that you can feel good about.  This session is designed for novice and experienced investors alike.

This class will be held in the Rt 85 Community Room, space is limited! RSVP below to reserve your spot!
