Public policy

The US SIF Public Policy Program supports an agenda that advances sustainable investment to the national legislative and executive branches of government.[3] Through US SIF, the sustainable investment industry brings a distinct voice and set of priorities to legislative and regulatory initiatives. Establishing standards for reporting and ESG analysis will likely need regulatory changes.[4]

In an effort to counter pushback against ESG investing by Republican policy makers in 2022, US SIF published a detailed response to those attacks.Web site: Amid a growing anti-ESG movement, sustainable investors want to correct misinformation .
