Amy Domini, Founder and Chair of Domini Impact Investments, has been named to Forbes 250: America’s Greatest Living Optimists. This list is part of Forbes 250, Forbes’ yearlong series celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States and the ideals at the heart of the American Dream. According to Forbes’ October 21, 2026 announcement, the list recognizes 250 founders, investors, philanthropists and educators who “took risks on new possibilities, prioritized long-term value over short-term gain and pursued ambitious ideas.”
For more than four decades, Amy has been a trailblazer in what is now known as sustainable and impact investing. Her 1984 book, Ethical Investing, co-authored with Peter Kinder, was one of the first comprehensive discussions of using environmental and social criteria in investment decisions, and in 1990 she helped launch the Domini 400 Social Index*, one of the first socially and environmentally screened indexes. She has long championed the idea that investors can seek competitive returns while considering the broader impact of their decisions on people, communities and the planet. Through her leadership, advocacy and tireless work to advance sustainability and shareholder engagement, she has inspired generations of investors to think beyond short-term results and invest with purpose.
The recognition reflects the values that have guided Amy’s career: optimism about the power of capital to drive positive change, and a belief that investors have both an opportunity and a responsibility to help create a more just and sustainable world. It is a conviction that has anchored her work from the start: the investments we make now build the society we live in tomorrow.
“I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Amy Domini for years, and ‘optimist’ is exactly the right word to describe her. Amy’s optimism has never been passive. It has always been grounded in action, conviction and a belief that investors can help shape a better future. Her vision helped define an industry, and her leadership continues to inspire all of us at Domini and across the broader sustainable investment community.”
— Carole Laible, CEO, Domini Impact Investments
We congratulate Amy on this well-deserved recognition and celebrate her enduring commitment to using finance as a force for positive change.
