# The Impact Investor

> An independent sustainable finance media property, ESG stock database, and financial analysis publication covering ESG ratings, renewable energy, and impact investments.

## Mission & Independence
The Impact Investor provides transparent, multi-provider ESG evaluations, equity fundamentals, and financial calculators. We do not blend third-party ratings from MSCI and Sustainalytics into proprietary black-box scores. Third-party observations are preserved independently alongside verified observation timestamps and delayed exchange data. Editorial coverage is led by founder Kyle Kroeger.
