The Sustainable Investment Forum (US SIF) has unveiled significant changes to its Board of Directors for the 2025-2027 term, electing Stephanie Cohn Rupp as the new Board Chair and eight Directors to steer its strategic direction. This leadership overhaul underscores US SIF's commitment to advancing sustainable investing at a time when environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors are increasingly pivotal in investment decisions.
Stephanie Cohn Rupp, CEO of Veris Wealth Partners, succeeds Diederik Timmer, bringing over twenty years of global impact investing experience to her role. The Board also welcomes eight new Directors, including Rebecca Adamson and Nakia Maddox Eubanks, among others, who bring diverse expertise in Indigenous Peoples' rights, sustainable finance, and corporate engagement. Their collective experience is expected to significantly contribute to US SIF's mission of fostering sustainable investment practices.
Maria Lettini, CEO of US SIF, highlighted the strategic importance of these appointments, noting the new Board's role in supporting the transition to a more resilient and equitable economy. With US SIF members managing $5 trillion in assets, the organization's influence in shaping sustainable finance policies and practices is substantial.
The timing of these changes is critical, as the sustainable investing industry faces rapid evolution and increasing scrutiny. The new Board's leadership will be vital in navigating regulatory changes, market dynamics, and the urgent global challenges of climate change and social inequality.
