Longwave Financial Earns Green America's Business Certification
Certified Business Seal reflects its commitment to positive social and environmental change.
NEW YORK, June 16, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Longwave Financial is thrilled to announce it has earned Green America's Green Business Certification and has been awarded the Green America Certified Business Seal. This distinction is bestowed upon businesses committed to using their platform for positive social and environmental change and growing the new green economy from the ground up. The recognition further demonstrates the firm's commitment to magnifying and broadening impact investing and leading the space with a thoughtful, science-based approach.
"We stand out as leaders in the ESG investing space so it's an honor to be recognized within a network of other companies dedicated to a sustainable marketplace," said Longwave Chief Impact Officer Jeffrey Scales.
In late 2022, Longwave announced its acquisition of JSA Wealth Sustainable Wealth Management, a pioneer in socially responsible (SRI) and ESG investing. Evident in its new tagline, "Invest It Forward," the strategic partnership fortified Longwave's long-term direction and expanded its geographic reach and access to sustainably focused financial planning solutions. In addition to the merger and partnering with impact-focused fund companies, Longwave publishes a quarterly ESG Impact newsletter and is an active member of US SIF: The Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment.
"We're committed to normalizing values-based investing and challenge stereotypes that it's niche, subjective, or high-cost through our academic-based approach to portfolio management and over 100 years of research," said Longwave Director of Investment Research Brandon Webster.
Aligning a scientific, repeatable process with the heart of its clients, Longwave's unique approach to ESG portfolio construction focuses on the long-term financial benefits of investing in companies with favorable ESG characteristics and influencing other companies to be more responsible global citizens. The firm's devout and rigorous solutions track all ESG categories, not just one, to help clients gain a broader view of a company's operating practices and authentically contribute to positive change without sacrificing their financial goals.
"Our focus remains our clients' financial success, which often means doing good while doing well," said Longwave CEO and Financial Advisor Nathan Munits, CRPC®, AIF®. "We're excited for the capabilities we've added to help guide our clients' strongest vote, their capital, toward improving our communities and planet while seeking better returns, which this recognition reflects."
