Today we say farewell to our fantastic interns! Over the last few months these talented young professionals lent their capable expertise to our team, and towards our Trends Report coming later this year. They were an incredible addition to the team for the time we were lucky to have them, and we'll miss seeing you all around the office. We wish you three the best of luck as you go forward in your careers, and thank you! Xiang Xiang Lingxi Li Linyi Zheng

Today is the last day of my internship at US SIF. Throughout the internship, I significantly improved my skills in conducting survey studies and desk research. The research allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the current ESG policies in the United States, as well as the attitudes toward sustainable investment and ESG practices among major corporations, which helped me obtain an overview of the industry, learning about the key trends and challenges. What truly make this experience terrific was the team I was fortunate enough to work with. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the entire US SIF team, and especially to my supervisor, Dr. Han. I will never forget the moments when I learned, grew, and bonded with the team, whether through collaborative tasks or the joyful conversations we shared. I am eager to keep these connections strong and to continue contributing to the mission of US SIF in any way I can.

InvestmentNews looks at how the SCOTUS decision on Chevron deference may impact the ongoing litigation on the US Dept of Labor's #ESG rule. US SIF's Managing Director contributed: "The district court decision was quite straightforward in that [the DOL’s new rule] was substantially similar to the Trump-era rule... The bigger impact is on regulations looking forward. The regulatory process will be slow and incredibly deliberate to avoid any litigation derived from this Chevron decision.” https://lnkd.in/ecaWVtAP #sustainableinvestment #retirement
