Advocacy Update: Unpacking the Key Issues of Engagement at US SIF’s 2026 Capitol Hill Day
US SIF’s annual Capitol Hill Day event brings together sustainable investors, managers, allocators, and other sector players from across the United States to share knowledge and advocate for policy change, with elected officials. Veris has been part of the US SIF community since our founding in 2007, and we share a belief with US SIF that it is crucial for impact investors to engage our elected officials and advocate for policy actions that support our work as a sector. Veris was proud to again sponsor and participate in the Capitol Hill Day event in 2026 to build on the work of the Congressional Sustainable Investment Caucus.
Members of the Veris delegation, including Maya Zamir, Roraj Pradhananga, Lori Choi, as well as several of our firm’s clients, traveled to Washington D.C. in June to engage with policymakers from across the political spectrum including the offices of Senator Michael F. Bennet (Colorado); Senator Kristen Gillibrand (New York), Representative Jim Himes (Connecticut); Senator Angela Alsobrooks (Maryland); Senator Peter Welch (Vermont); and Representative Nancy Pelosi (California), among others.
