Today, Zevin Asset Management earned a place for the third year in a row on the Best for the World lists within the B Corp community. This year Zevin Asset Management was named Best for Customers by scoring in the top 10 percent of all B Corporations because of the investment firm’s focus on solving social and environmental issues through its services.
“It is an honor to be recognized by B Corporation as a firm that stands out for its focus on clients,” said Sonia Kowal, president of Zevin Asset Management. “We strive to construct portfolios for clients that help address the pressing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues we face today.”
Pat Miguel Tomaino, Zevin Asset Management’s director of socially responsible investing, said: “As socially responsible impact investors, we believe that factors ranging from climate change risk to racial injustice drive risk and opportunity for companies in client portfolios. This honor reflects our continuing success in researching ESG factors and using our voices as shareholders to change companies and create positive impact.”
