Climate United is proudly led by several powerhouse women, including Calvert Impact CEO Jennifer Pryce. Read more on how Jenn found her way to impact investing, and why she hopes more women will join her. ⬇️
Calvert Impact is unique in many ways, including our nearly three decades-long track record and our accessible products designed so everyday investors can participate. Another important way we're unique? We are one of only 18% of all financial firms managed by women. Our CEO Jennifer Pryce wrote for Green Money Journal about why more women are needed in impact finance. Impact investing often focuses on the critical work of providing resources for women globally, but it also needs to focus on increasing the number of women leaders in the industry. "I want to encourage impact investing to be equally thoughtful in getting women into roles managing and deploying capital as well. I often think of the work we’re doing in impact investing as providing a 'demonstration effect' for the broader capital markets, proving that you can earn a financial return while also creating the social and environmental solutions communities need, and normalizing what we and our impact partners have been doing for decades. We can also normalize women as leaders of financial firms and work to ensure that there are women at every professional level of impact investing organizations, seeding a strong pipeline for the next generation of finance leaders." Jenn cites Quona Capital led by Monica Brand Engel, ImpactAssets led by Margret Trilli, and Anthos Fund & Asset Management whose impact investing strategy is led by Dimple Sahni as firms setting great examples. She also notes the importance engaging more women in finance to help lead the clean energy transition: "Investments to adapt to climate change and develop low-carbon technologies will generate trillions of dollars of investment and millions of new jobs over the next decade. Ensuring women are at the table making these investments and are part of the wealth building story needs to be the legacy of this generation of leadership."

This week, we were thrilled to attend the Native CDFI Network, Inc.’s 5th Annual Policy & Capacity Building Summit! Native CDFIs are critical in our mission to ensure Native communities can finance clean energy projects at the family and Tribal level - and, more importantly, enjoy the health, climate, and cost savings benefits these projects bring. Special shout out to our Chief Community Officer, Krystal Langholz, who spoke on a panel alongside Michael Swack, Amber Kuchar-Bell, Amir Kirkwood, Cathie Mahon, Pam Porter, and Kristen Wagner (she/her) to discuss how Clean Communities Investment Accelerator (CCIA) and National Clean Investment Fund (NCIF) awardees can collaborate to fund these critical institutions. Thank you to everyone who made this event a success!
