Patrick Costello from Green River Financial Services
Patrick is a Certified Financial Planner™ who has lived and worked in the San Francisco Bay area since 1998. Through his company Green River Sustainable Financial Services he helps individuals, business owners and non profits REDUCE THE CARBON FOOTPRINT of their investments – without sacrificing performance!
In 2013, Patrick published his first book on “Green” or Sustainable, Socially Responsible, ESG Investing, called "Green Investing, More Than Being Socially Responsible." In September of 2018, he published an updated and re-titled version of the book, titled "LOW-CARBON INVESTING – Defending the Climate/Emphasizing Performance." Much of the book is devoted to "unpacking" the new sustainable investing acronym "ESG," pointing out exactly what it means to investors, and why in some cases it obscures rather than clarifies whether mutual fund and ETF managers are focused on reducing their funds' carbon footprints
