Investors need clear data on how companies invest in their people. Illinois’ #WISERAct is a first step toward better workforce disclosure. I wrote about why it matters in @impactalpha.com. @usimpinvalliance.bsky.social

Parts of the American economy can sound like a shell game these days. Cass does a great job naming this problem and proposing some steps to address it.
Excellent piece by Oren Cass. “The next step is for universities, large nonprofit foundations, and union and public-sector pensions, to put their assets where their values are, redirecting their savings and endowments toward real investment consistent with their own professed priorities.“ #impinv
2025 demanded focus, agility, and commitment to protecting and advancing the field and practice of impact investing. Read our reflections on the year in the @usimpinvalliance.bsky.social 2025 Annual Highlights: impinvalliance.org/2025-annual-... #impinv

Post the Supreme Court’s strike down of affirmative action in higher education, lawsuits have proliferated against the private sector including corporations, law firms, health care companies, arts organizations and nonprofits. According to this NYT piece, they’re mostly succeeding. #DEI
A picture of a singular silo at an energy plant releasing an emission of some type of smoke, back by a reddish-orange sunset with a forefront white text overlay that reads: “The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has halted limitations on Ozone and Fine Particulate Matter–the two most widespread pollutants–practically ending all economic valuations of human life.” Besides the image and the text, in the top right corner lies the YPCCC logo, which is circular, with a hollow center, and a band of 5 colors.
Last week, the E.P.A. ended its use of monetary estimates for lives saved while setting limits on fine particulate matter and ozone, two of the most widespread and lethal air pollutants. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/c...

The @financialtimes.com reported on efforts that weaken shareholder oversight in favor of the consolidation of boardroom control. In her letter to the editor, @franseegull.bsky.social warns that corporate “management primacy” threatens healthy markets. Read here: giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
Grateful to @financialtimes.com for highlighting a major shift in corporate governance, citing weakening shareholder oversight and growing corporate power. In my letter to the editor, I warn that corporate “management primacy” threatens transparency, accountability and healthy markets. #impinv
Anatomy of a backlash. We went from “transforming finance” to now actively ignoring financially material impact factors. Doing so will lead to long-term underperformance and underfunded pension fund liabilities. #impinv
The rise of management primacy all but ensures structural inequality and facilitates value extraction at an accelerated pace. The priorities of stakeholders are systematically ignored, suppressed and sidelined. Instead, corporate managers and boards expect and receive extreme deference and control.
The impact investing landscape is rapidly evolving, and 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year. The @usimpinvalliance.bsky.social team has outlined 8 key policy areas that could shape the future of impact and sustainable investing. #impinv

ICYMI: The Administration’s budget proposes cutting funding for the CDFI Fund. Given the CDFI Fund’s track record of bipartisan support, we're hopeful Congress will continue to champion the critical program.
