Our values are based on the recognition that all economic life is interdependent. By becoming a B Corporation, we are joining a community of businesses that reflect these same values through long-term commitments and tangible practices that benefit all business stakeholders, including employees, community members, and the environment.
RSF offers investing, lending, and giving services to individuals and enterprises committed to improving society and the environment. It currently has over one thousand clients who are creating enormous positive impact by helping the company redirect the flow of money from global capital markets to local ones. Together, they are creating a shift from financial transactions that are complex, opaque, and anonymous to those that are direct, transparent, and personal. Every decision the company makes is based on long-term relationships, not short-term outcomes.
