In a new two-part podcast series from GreenMoney Talks, Amy Domini, Founder and Chair of Domini Impact Investments, shares inspiring stories and insights from her decades as a leader and innovator in the field of impact investing.

She also discusses the essential role that community development financial institutions (CDFIs) play in empowering underserved communities and nurturing the grassroots of our economy.
In part two, also available now, Amy shares her perspectives on recent economic volatility and the current state of markets and sustainable investing. She also highlights Domini’s efforts to combat climate change by protecting forests and biodiversity.
