In times of crisis, we often see the best in humanity. I want to thank my friend Chef José Andrés, his team at World Central Kitchen, and everyone on the ground for all they’re doing to support Ukrainian refugees.

Today I met Natalia & her daughter Miraslava at the train station in Lviv, Ukraine. They just arrived from Zaporizhzhia, where Russian forces attacked the nuclear power plant. Only 5 years old, Miraslava was enjoying her first hot meal in days. This is why @WCKitchen is here. 🇺🇦

Yes, investors deserve to know the criteria for funds labeled #ESG. Cheers and kudos to @SECGov Chair @GaryGensler for this short video that takes the complex issues of #ESG disclosures and #greenwashing and makes them easy to understand.

If it’s easy to tell if milk is fat-free by just looking at the nutrition label, it might be time to make it easier to tell if “green” or “sustainable” funds are really what they say they are.

Great read from @JeffAGreen! It’s exciting to see more women than ever in board seats at the start of 2022, but there’s still a long way to go to ensure equitable representation. bloom.bg/3tZwwbi

Women Hit a Record Share of S&P 500 Board Seats in 2021

Women hit a record share of seats in S&P 500 boardrooms in 2021, with some of the strongest growth coming in the energy and industrial sectors, where women trail men in power and influence.

The decision from ExxonMobil to cut its greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2050 wouldn't have been possible without activists pushing for this change. As proxy season approaches, shareholders can have an impact on major corporate decisions. on.ft.com/3Im2AKt

US startups founded solely by women raised nearly $6.4 billion of venture funding in 2021, 83% higher than the total raised in 2020. However, this is still just a sliver of the pie. To meet the challenges of our time, we need all players on the field. pitchbook.com/news/articles/…

.@BusinessInsider recognizes the increasing number of women in venture who made partner or general partner for the first time in 2021. We’ve got a long way to go, but in 2021, about 15% of general partners in venture were women, up 3.5% from 2019. businessinsider.com/women-in…

Pretty amazing to see the growth of global venture capital over the last year. Equally important is the need for this funding to go to diverse entrepreneurs across the country and world.
