Arjuna Capital seeks to promote a more equitable, environmentally responsible world through its investments. As a firm focused on both mission and profit, we pursued becoming a certified Benefit Corporation through B Lab. This certification acknowledges businesses that are leaders in the global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy. On average, only about 1 in 20 businesses that complete the rigorous assessment earn B Corp certification. With this certification, we join a global community of over 6,000 B Corps committed to influencing change in our economic system to positively impact all stakeholders — workers, communities, customers, and the planet.
An enlightened path in a complex world
In one section of the poem known as the Bhagavad Gita, Arjuna, a famed warrior and skilled archer, confronts doubt as he heads into battle. He calls on Krishna to help him determine his path of right action in this morally complex landscape. When Arjuna looks into Krishna's mouth he sees the entire universe and his role in it. He understands that his path is to move forward and fight. As it did for Arjuna, our world presents moral complexity and we have to decide every day how to navigate it.
Our clients seek to invest in ways that further both their own financial wellbeing and the health of society. The epic figure Arjuna embodies this more encompassing, enlightened vision of investing and the skill to put it into effective action.
Before founding Arjuna, managing partners Natasha Lamb and Farnum Brown were students of yoga and philosophy, respectively, and the story of Arjuna played a foundational role in how they view and navigate the world.
