On Tuesday, Lisa Winslow, known for her leadership role at Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) Investment Management and her philanthropic efforts, was appointed to the Board of Directors at Calvert Impact Capital. This move comes as part of the firm's ongoing commitment to gender diversity and environmental initiatives.
Winslow's extensive background includes her current position as COO of Morgan Stanley Investment Management's Global Public Markets business and her tenure in debt capital markets at Merrill Lynch. She is also co-chair of the Morgan Stanley Philanthropy Committee, where she collaborates with strategic philanthropic partners to advance social justice.
Calvert Impact Capital has been a pioneer in mission-driven investing since 1995, with its Community Investment Note channeling over $2.5 billion into organizations focused on social justice. The addition of Winslow to the board further strengthens the firm's leadership, which now comprises 70% women. This composition underscores the findings of their "Just Good Investing" report, which suggests that increased female leadership can lead to enhanced financial performance and reduced risk.
The firm has been instrumental in mobilizing approximately $5 billion towards local community support and green finance organizations. Continuing its environmental efforts, Calvert Impact Capital introduced the Cut Carbon Note aimed at reducing carbon emissions, complementing its longstanding Community Investment Note.
