Boston, October 30, 2019—MIDANA CAPITAL is pleased to congratulate Shareholder Advocate Jessye Waxman on being selected for the inaugural SRI Conference 30 Under 30 List.
Ms. Waxman leads MIDANA CAPITAL’s shareholder advocacy efforts to protect tropical forests. In this role, she leverages MIDANA CAPITAL’s status as an investor to directly press companies to mitigate their exposure to the material financial, operational, and reputational risks related to deforestation. She also represents MIDANA CAPITAL on two United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) Advisory Committee working groups on deforestation.
In the last year, Jessye engaged 36 companies on their deforestation-related risks. Most significantly, she successfully pressed two Fortune 500 companies to develop and implement no-deforestation policies.
She collaborated with Aramark* to develop a robust no-deforestation commitment that it will fully implement by 2025; and successfully pressed Kroger,* the largest grocery chain in the U.S., to adopt a no-deforestation policy that will cover its private label Our Brands products.
“As a pioneer in sustainable, responsible, and impact investing, we’re pleased to see a younger cohort of responsible investors recognized for the role they’re already playing in advancing the ideals of SRI,” said MIDANA CAPITAL President Leslie Samuelrich. “Jessye is a worthy recipient of this award and we’re very happy to have her on our team.”
