June 3 will recognize the creation of one of the first sustainable mutual funds and celebrate the continued evolution of the impact investing industry
NEW YORK, NY – Domini Impact Investments LLC, a trailblazer in “Investing for Good,” has established National Impact Investing Day to be observed annually on June 3. The day commemorates the growth of impact investing and coincides with the 35th anniversary of the Domini Impact Equity Fund, one of the first sustainable index funds and an early pioneer in the use of environmental and social standards in investing.
The observance honors more than three decades of industry progress in aligning capital markets with ecological sustainability and universal human dignity while encouraging investors to reflect on how their investment choices support their long-term values and goals. National Impact Investing Day is intended as an opportunity for the growing community of investors to reflect on how their investment decisions can help build a better future.
Launched in 1991, the Domini Impact Equity Fund is actively managed with a disciplined, research-driven approach grounded in the Domini Impact Investment Standards, first published in 2005. The Fund seeks long-term total return while creating positive environmental and social outcomes for people and the planet.
“It all began with seeing a simple truth: if we want a greener planet and a world where every person can thrive, investors must play an active role,” said Amy Domini, Founder and Chair of Domini Impact Investments. “The future I envisioned for my grandchildren could not happen unless we invested in it. That belief became my mission — to help guide dollars into the creation of that vision. Looking back, I’m proud that the firm I helped build has made a difference.”
The Domini Impact Equity Fund combines proprietary impact research with financial analysis and portfolio management to build a diversified portfolio of companies demonstrating environmental and social leadership. Domini’s approach is reinforced through active ownership designed to help hold companies accountable, including direct engagement with corporate leadership, filing shareholder proposals, proxy voting, and public advocacy.
To commemorate National Impact Investing Day, Domini will host a fireside chat featuring impact investing pioneer Amy Domini and the firm’s CEO, Carole Laible. Together, they will reflect on the past three decades, including the journey, challenges, and successes, and discuss the path forward for investors seeking to align their investments with people, planet, and profit. The conversation will offer a candid look at the experiences that shaped the field and the continued momentum behind impact investing.
In conjunction with the event, Domini will launch a dedicated National Impact Investing Day hub featuring investor guides and educational resources to help individuals evaluate their investment choices. The hub encourages investors to ask practical questions about portfolio holdings, investment standards, stewardship practices, and long-term sustainability considerations as they assess their approach.
The establishment of National Impact Investing Day comes amid growing investor interest in sustainable and impact investment strategies. Domini encourages investors to use the day to reflect on where their money is invested and how their portfolios align with their long-term values and financial goals.
