“Ask
me about them”
What Josh Mailman, a leader
in
socially responsible investing,
has to say about PRIDE Diamonds:
|
Mr. Mailman has helped start several
grantmaking foundations and philanthropic business initiatives
since the early 1980s, including the Threshold Foundation
and the Social Venture Network, which brings together private
investors, company founders and social entrepreneurs with
a shared commitment to create a more just and sustainable
society through business. He co-founded Business for Social
Responsibility in 1992, now one of the largest national organizations
focused on promoting business and social responsibility simultaneously.
Mr. Mailman is a trustee of the Sigrid Rausing Trust, an advisor
to the Rudolf Steiner Foundation, and a board member of the
Mailman Foundation. In addition to the Fund, Mr. Mailman serves
on the boards of Human Rights Watch, Witness, Sierra Madre
Alliance, Blacksmith Institute, Afropop Worldwide, and the
Environmental Defenders Law Center.
"I am helping to create a program
to support Muslim Social Entrepreneurs in the Middle East,
and a new investment fund called Sirius Change, to do cutting
edge social investments. Recent investments (and mostly SVN
companies!) include Baltix Designs, Pride Diamonds,
Giftworks, Kopali Organics, Forestrade, Generous Returns,
Atlas Capital, Napo Pharmaceutical, Bracnet, Econergy, Bio
Resources International, Cempra Pharmaceutical, and Distributed
Capital. They are all cool - ask me about them! I love tribal
cultures and art, great ideas that can change the game."
