How Investors and Fund Managers Can Help Save the Rainforests with Deforestation Free Funds

On Feb 19, As You Sow and Friends of the Earth held a webinar on Deforestation Free Funds that explored what ordinary investors— and their fund managers — could do to move their money out of deforestation-risk commodities, what sustainability-focused asset managers were doing to press companies on deforestation, and how the newly expanded Deforestation Free Funds platform could help. 

Speakers included: 

Jeff Conant, Senior International Forests Program Manager, Friends of the Earth US
Jessye Waxman, Shareholder Advocate, Green Century Capital Management
Andrew Behar, CEO, As You Sow
