Editor's Notes

  1. Because of your challenge – me taking the challenge and Bob supporting the work
  2. This was the challenge HIP made from this slide – I created a business model that identifies the 84% and calls out strategies to build and develop the 84% of intangibles and strategies that mitigate risk that comes from the intagibles like environmental carbon etc We tracked with the HIP Book of Health wealth earth equality and trsus
  3. The wealth metric was centeredt on developimng wealth for the employees and developing wealth for the business owners BUT ALSO DEVELOPING A STRATEGY FOR INCREASING EMPLOYEE ENAGAGEMENT
  4. I’m Burke Pemberton, Partner, COO & Controller at Environmental Building Strategies. EBS is a Strategic Sustainability Consultancy to the Real Estate Industry. We work with everyone from Developers & Building Owners to Architects & Engineers to reduce operating expenses and increase the value of real property through the recommendation of sustainability measures. We’re involved in projects from the design phase all the way through construction, operation and eventual disposal. In addition to building science experts, my colleagues include experts in finance and economics. One of our key competitive differentiators is our ability to make sustainability recommendations based in the principals of real estate finance and economics. We are also a mission driven organization. Our Purpose is to Boldly Catalyze an environmentally restorative and socially equitable world. We are purpose maximizers first, in addition to being profit maximizers. We believe that the two go hand-in-hand nicely. And a lot of other folks must agree, as EBS has experienced rapid growth that has landed us on the San Francisco business times list of the fastest growing companies in the Bay Area for 3 consecutive years and we are working with Fortune 5 firms to catalyze their corporate sustainability strategy.
  5. So, I mentioned that EBS is a mission driven organization. And we were having the darndest time getting our team members engaged in their retirement savings. Why? Well, for starters my team, and the talent we work to attract, is comprised mostly of millennials that are not really thinking about retirement yet. And second, they spend the majority of their working lives creating an environmentally restorative and socially equitable world. As the company’s 401(k) plan sponsor, I was asking them to take the money earned in this noble pursuit, turn around, and invest it in the very companies creating the toxic products that they work so hard to eradicate. There was no alignment, and, not surprisingly, no participation in the 401(k) plan. For those of you savvy to the tax benefits to LCC partners of using the 401(k) as a safe harbor, the lack of participation also led the plan to fail the Top Heavy test, and stole the tax benefits of the plan. Another real business consideration for increasing engagement. Adopting the impact rated 401K allows for us to be more transparent with our clients about who we invest in and as a result challenges/pushes others to gain more transparency into their 401(k) investments.
  6. As a small company, we relied on our payroll provider to administer our 401(k) plan, and, full disclosure, there was little thought put into it. So, when I realized that my colleagues were not going to invest in a traditional 401(k) plan, it was time for me to go to 401(k) university, where I learned about the intricate list of stakeholders involved in plan administration. First, we needed an investment advisor that was willing to work within the bounds of their strictly enforced fiduciary duties to provide our team with investment advice geared towards socially responsible investing. After vetting several candidates we landed on a San Francisco based firm name Communitas Financial Advisors who was already working in the SRI space. Next, we needed a record keeper to keep track of the investments. Communitas recommended a firm called Retirement Plan Consultants and they have been great and easy to work with. Then, we needed a way to rate the sustainability impact of the funds in the plan to engage plan participants and educate them about the true impact performance of the holdings. That’s where HIP Investor’s impact ratings for 401(k) came in. Finding the final stakeholder was the tricky part, because we needed a Third Party Administrator to make sure that Communitas and I, as the plan sponsor, were upholding our fiduciary duties and meeting government regulations as we tried to do something crazy called “mitigating long-term risk in our long-term financial investments.” The first Administrator we worked with limited Communitas’ ability to implement investment recommendations based off of HIP’s Impact Performance Ratings. So, we asked QBOX to act as a more flexible investment fiduciary administrator to allow us to incorporate the Impact rated investment funds into our plan. So that was it, and the rest was in the results.
  7. Let’s talk about the results. By providing an Impact rated 401(k) plan to our team members, we have full engagement, and are now able to align all of our business practices with our mission and values. This also has the added benefit of creating a bullet proof recruiting message that allows us to attract and retain talented folks who are authentically passionate about everything we do at EBS. Increased participation Increased engagement Better Talent Acquisition
