Inclusive Capital Partners is a highly engaged long-term investment management firm based in San Francisco in pursuit of a healthy planet and the health of its inhabitants. Since 2020, the firm has identified and invested in companies that offer compelling value propositions and generate measurable positive impact on the environment and society. This, Inclusive Capital Partners believes, drives superior long-term financial returns. By actively partnering with management – often from inside the boardroom – on focused, company-specific environmental and social metrics, Inclusive Capital Partners commits to making business models more sustainable.
Lynn Forester de Rothschild is Founder of both the non-profits Council for Inclusive Capitalism and Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism, as well as Inclusive Capital Partners, an SEC-registered investment adviser. While all three organizations share a similar vision, the Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism and the Council for Inclusive Capitalism are operated independently of Inclusive Capital Partners.

We believe it is vital to state clearly to the world the set of our beliefs about Inclusive Capitalism. As such, we start with our Statement of Guiding Principles for Inclusive Capitalism. Knowing that words alone are not enough, each of us is making a series of commitments about how we will operate our institutions so that they help achieve Inclusive Capitalism. These commitments are forward-looking statements based on current goals, expectations and assumptions, which are not guarantees of future performance.
