I remain very proud to be an Advisor to, and investor in, SmallChange.co. Thank you to The Fintech Times for including Small Change in its recent article “DEI in Action: The Fintech Companies Who Are Making an Effort.” “Many companies state a strong commitment to DEI but neglect to take concrete, effective action. To ensure that DEI efforts extend beyond lip service, fintechs should identify precise goals and measure progress against them. One of the most important initiatives we’ve undertaken at Small Change is the establishment of a proprietary index (The Small Change Index) that measures a broad array of factors to determine a project’s social impact. These factors include the representation of minorities and women in project leadership, the extent to which the communities that surround a project are underserved, and environmental standards. “We only list projects that reach an impacted score of 60 per cent. This has resulted in strong branding and strong DEI returns for Small Change. Although the criteria we use is specific to real estate development, fintechs in other sectors can and should develop strict criteria of their own. Furthermore, they should be prepared to report on their progress to their various stakeholders, which will enhance accountability. No one should expect overnight success, but clear and decisive steps will slowly but surely improve DEI in the fintech industry.” - Eve Picker, Founder, Small Change https://lnkd.in/ewY-qP7C
