Who are we

what do you want

to profit from?

At NorthStar we invest in solutions that protect and restore the environment, level the economic playing field and address the demographic dynamics driving our future.

We consider ecological, social and political limits to be real and serious and work to invest in companies that acknowledge and address these challenges while avoiding those that are blatantly ignoring or escalating extraction and exploitation.

Through rigorous research and unapologetic shareholder advocacy, we turn portfolios into forces for change. This is investing without compromise. Let your money work toward Justice, Equity and a Liveable Planet

THE NORTHSTAR PROCESS

We don’t invest in the status quo. We challenge it.
At NorthStar, investing is not about finding “responsible” companies. It’s about using every dollar, every vote, and every conversation to work — pushing corporations toward justice, equity, and a thriving world. Our approach confronts harm and champions real solutions while we hold the companies shaping our world accountable. We do this by:

Avoiding Harmful Business Models

We intentionally avoid companies whose core practices cause harm or perpetuate systemic inequities, whether economic, racial or gender based. This includes industries such as tobacco, alcohol, fossil fuels, weapons, for-profit prisons, and other extractive models that profit at the expense of people and the planet.

Purposefully Investing in Solutions

We strategically seek out companies creating solutions to today’s most pressing challenges — from addressing climate change and ecological limits, to responding to aging demographics, to fostering inclusive growth that levels the economic playing field. These businesses prove that profitability and purpose can go hand in hand.

Using our Power as Shareholders

Guided by our Six Pillars, we file bold, progressive shareholder proposals to directly engage company leadership and demand stronger corporate accountability. To date, we have filed over 250 proposals and sent more than 200 letters — turning shareholder influence into measurable impact.

INVESTING WITH CONVICTION AND CONSCIENCE

At NorthStar, every holding has a purpose — and a responsibility. We build concentrated, high-conviction portfolios that balance financial strength with measurable social and environmental impact. By combining rigorous analysis, deep engagement and a values-driven lens, we ensure your investments are positioned to deliver lasting returns for both you and the world we share.
