Why We Invested
WoWE has developed a gender intersectional investment strategy to influence the growth of capital investing with women actors at the center of solutions to today’s pressing challenges. We participate in the building of learning tools that we, and other investors, use for “do-no-harm” portfolio construction. WoWE has been using Ethos’ data to inform our investment making process since 2021. Ethos ESG’s data platform allows for WoWE to evaluate all possible investments using an intersectional approach. Utilizing Ethos ESG, WoWE is able to screen all investments for tobacco, weapons, prison involvement, alcohol, environmental controversies and fossil fuels. This process ensures that WoWE can invest at the intersection of gender and the most challenging problems of our time, including climate, health, education, and other key social issues.
