UNPRI signatory
We are proud to announce that Envestnet signed the Principles for Responsible Investing on April 1, 2020. As a signatory, we affirm our commitment to improving the world through responsible investments, alongside ESG pioneers and thought leaders.The Principles of Responsible Investment (PRI) is an independent entity that has created a set of voluntary and aspirational set of investment principles that offer a menu of possible actions for incorporating ESG issues into investment practices. The goal of the PRI is to create more sustainable capital markets that contribute to a more prosperous world for all. The Principles were developed by an international group of institutional investors reflecting the increasing relevance of environmental, social and corporate governance issues to investment practices. The process was convened by the United Nations Secretary-General. In signing the Principles, we as a service provider publicly commit to adopt and implement them, where consistent with our fiduciary responsibilities. We believe this will improve our ability to meet commitments to beneficiaries as well as better align our investment activities with the broader interests of society.
Dedicated to Our Communities
Envestnet has a vision to transform wealth management for the benefit of investors and the advisors who serve them. Envestnet Cares takes that vision one step further by empowering employees to make a positive impact in their communities.
Envestnet Cares
Envestnet Cares is an employee initiative with the objective of making a positive philanthropic impact in our communities. By fundraising, donating time, or leveraging digital and financial expertise, employees support organizations that help others move forward and reflect Envestnet’s core values.Envestnet has organized its charitable initiatives in four primary ways:
01.
Signature Impact
Signature Impact initiatives focus on fostering long-term partnerships with charitable organizations in the communities where we do business. Long-term commitments provide a more predictable source of funding to our charitable partners and provide a way for Envestnet to create more meaningful and lasting impact through targeted efforts to support education and families in need.
02.
Annual Corporate Giving
Envestnet supports a wide range of charitable organizations with a primary focus on issues of education and children and families in need. Annual gifts are identified by Envestnet employees and are facilitated through the Envestnet Cares Committee. Envestnet’s annual giving is meant to be flexible and more opportunistic in responding to more immediate needs in our communities, including disaster relief efforts.
03.
Volunteering
Direct engagement and service to others is central to Envestnet’s charitable giving strategy. Envestnet supports employee volunteering—whether independent or through organized volunteer events by each office--by providing paid time off and funding for employee volunteer events.
04.
Employee Charitable Giving Match
Envestnet multiplies and empowers the generosity of employees with charitable matching – for each personal gift by an employee to a registered charity, Envestnet matches the gift up to $3,000 per year.

Conscious of our Impact on the Environment
We are conscious of the environmental footprint of our office locations around the country, and are working to reduce our impact through targeted initiatives to minimize waste.
At our offices in Chicago, Redwood Shores, and Seattle, we work with caterers who partner with Copia, an organization that helps businesses redistribute high-quality excess food to feed people in need. Copia has created a technology platform to feed the community, save money, and reduce waste. To date, they have recovered one million pounds of food, delivered 900,000 meals, and diverted 3.5 million pounds of CO2e through their efforts.
Our Chicago office participates in the Keurig Green Mountain's Grounds to Grow On® program, an initiative to collect and recycle brewed K-Cup® pods. On average, we have recycled 1,387 pounds of plastic on an annual basis since we started the program in early 2018.
