JUST Capital is thrilled to introduce our new Environmental Explorer – an interactive tool that helps people quickly and easily understand how different companies are acting on environmental issues. The Explorer enables users to custom-rank the 1,000 largest public U.S. companies on specific environmental issues, including pollution and environmental management, as well as specific impacts, such as greenhouse gas emissions, hazardous spills, water, fuel, electricity usage, and waste recycled. The Environmental Explorer was featured this month in Sustainable Brands, Politico, and Corporate Citizenship Briefing. Through the launch of this critical new tool, JUST Capital seeks to drive change in the private sector and beyond, encouraging all stakeholders to work together to protect the environment and nurture healthy communities.

In the News: Our Board on JUST Capital

Deepak Chopra and Paul Tudor Jones II revisited the core inspiration for JUST Capital while discussing the JUST ETF in the San Francisco Chronicle:

“To our knowledge,it is the first ever financial product in which the underlying companies are included based solely on their alignment with the values and priorities of Main Street America.” 

Peter Georgescu discussed in Biden Forum how business can rebuild the middle class given the right incentives:

“The shareholder as equity provider is no longer the differentiator between success and failure. People are. JUST Capital has proven the same point.”

Paul Tudor Jones II discussed investing in a more just world, with Lloyd Blankfein as part of Talks at GS.

“If you follow what the American public says are the most important things, then you end up not only being just, but you also end up being more profitable.”
