Founded to address historic silos between financial analysts and sustainability professionals, Wangari Global is resolving a growing issue preventing the adoption of pioneering ESG initiatives.

Named after Kenyan Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai, Wangari Global's founding ethos is rooted in activism. Doing right by the world and its inhabitants is always the top priority, even if it may be challenging to achieve. Ari Joury has shaped the company's strong belief in allocating wisely toward ESG initiatives since exploring the intersection of AI, particle physics, and climate finance.

After spending years in academia, researching dark matter and other scientific theories, Joury's time pouring over statistical models soon landed him in a leading finance role. As he completed climate risk assessments, Joury's eyes were opened to the possibility of science-backed methods enhancing how financial institutions could leverage ESG for smart and impactful investment decisions. His passion allowed him to recognize the disconnect between the realms of finance and sustainability, sparking the notion of Wangari Global.

"There's enthusiasm about ESG's power to drive returns in the financial services sector," Joury shares. "More institutions are closing the gap between financial analysts and sustainability professionals as they discover the positive impacts tactful ESG investments can have on a company, its clients, and the world overall."
