Since inception, all categories of exclusion made by VEGN have generated excess return, except animal testing. The largest positive contributions have come from removing utilities with high fossil fuel use, energy production companies, weapons manufacturers, and those with human rights issues. 📈
Jane Goodall will be deeply missed. 💔 She will be remembered as a trailblazer who worked tirelessly and honored every animal. Jane always fought for a better world #forhumanity and leaves behind an extraordinary legacy. We encourage everyone to follow in her footsteps by going vegan. #RIPJaneGoodall
