In 2017 we launched Sustainable Finance with one mission: to curate the best in research and reporting on sustainability. Founded at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, we were the first university to offer programs in Sustainable Finance starting in 2005.
Since launching the blog, we have seen visits to our site double every year, and this year has seen our best year yet, with thousands of visitors from over 65 countries. As we close out 2020, we want to thank our readers for their support in making Sustainable Finance the number one sustainable finance blog in the world.
