Jordan Brooks

Jordan Brooks represents the next generation of investors who refuse to choose between profits and principles. After studying Environmental Science at Yale and earning an MBA from Stanford, Jordan spent years at BlackRock's sustainable investing team before launching independent research focused on ESG integration. They've become a leading voice arguing that environmental, social, and governance factors aren't just ethical considerations but material financial risks and opportunities. Jordan's analysis goes beyond surface-level ESG scores to examine real sustainability practices—carbon emissions reduction, supply chain labor practices, board diversity, and executive compensation alignment. They were early to recognize that climate transition would create both winners (renewable energy, electric vehicles, energy efficiency) and losers (stranded fossil fuel assets). Jordan also holds companies accountable for greenwashing, calling out weak sustainability claims unsupported by data. Their investment philosophy centers on identifying companies genuinely adapting to stakeholder capitalism while avoiding those paying lip service. Based in San Francisco, Jordan speaks frequently at conferences and advises institutions integrating ESG into portfolios. Their analysis serves both impact-focused investors and pragmatists recognizing that sustainability drives long-term value creation.
