Investor Datasets
Adasina’s Investor Datasets, created in partnership with social justice movements, are a critical tool for making long-term impact. We publicize these datasets, integrate them into our own portfolios, and organize investors to pressure companies and governments to change harmful practices that contribute to systemic injustice.
HOW TO USE THE DATASETS
- Invest with Adasina! Our datasets are automatically applied to Adasina portfolios.
- Talk to your financial advisor about how you're invested. Consider excluding these companies from your portfolio or conducting shareholder engagement to urge them to end this practice.
Values-Aligned Resource Partners
Resource Partners are fellow leaders and field builders among social justice movements and in the investment industry. These partners are connectors who also provide reliable research and timely educational resources to the Adasina Community.
