At Big Path Capital, we know finance is one of the most powerful levers for systemic change. Yet too often, tools like insurance, banking, and retirement accounts are treated as separate from sustainability when in reality they influence risk, resilience, and long-term value at scale. This conversation will spotlight how mission-driven leaders are activating these overlooked levers to align values with operations, reduce risk, and shape systemic change. If you believe in the power of finance to drive resilience and impact, this is a must-attend event.

This month, Big Path Director Christie Lange joined leaders from across the CPG community at the Consumer Impact Summit (Consumer Impact Events). 🎤 In an interview with Chris Bahn, Founder of C. Bahn Strategic Partners, Christie shared advice for business leaders looking to scale. She emphasized the critical need for a transparent and authentic identity, rooted in well-defined values, strong business fundamentals, and measurable impact. Effectively communicating this identity through data and storytelling, she said, is essential for growth and attracting value-aligned investors. #ConsumerImpactSummit #ImpactInvesting #ConsciousConsumers #SustainableBusiness #MissionDrivenBrands #BigPathCapital #BCorp

“Everyone deserves the right to an equitable justice system,” said Ged Noering. Through our Ripples of Impact initiative, we honor milestone anniversaries by donating $1,000 for each year of service to a nonprofit chosen by the team member. ⛓️💥 To mark his first anniversary as a Fund Placement Analyst, Ged selected the Innocence Project, a New York City–based nonprofit working to overturn wrongful convictions and fight for a more equitable justice system. Ged’s choice reflects what he’s learned in his first year with Big Path: “One of the biggest lessons I have learned over the course of this year at Big Path is the power of persistence. To create the change we want to see in the world in advancing a more sustainable economy, we need to have an insatiable desire to create change and reimagine systems.” 👏 Join us in celebrating Ged’s first anniversary and read more about his journey here: https://lnkd.in/g2SaAGsT #BigPathCapital #RipplesOfImpact #InnocenceProject #CivilRights #BCorp #MissionDriven
