SJF invests in companies that support shifting consumer preferences toward more sustainable, ethical, and transparent production. These companies realize focusing on multiple stakeholders, both people and planet, leads to more sustainable business growth.
SJF invests in products and systems designed to minimize the negative impacts on our climate and natural resources. SJF believes sustainability is further enhanced through thoughtful consideration of the interests and wellbeing of multiple constituents, including consumers, workers, local and global environments, partners, and suppliers.
While much of SJF’s investment activity in this area has focused on food systems – which have substantial impact potential for the environment, consumer health, worker economics, and beyond – other areas of interest and investment have included sustainable packaging, personal care products, office product design, and IoT devices.
