MILL VALLEY, CALIF. — If you consider successful planet-conscious investing an
idealist’s pipedream, think again.
Founded on the conviction that individuals can make a real difference for the
environment by putting their money where their heart is, Mill Valley, CA-based
FocusEarth.com is a leader in environmentally-conscious portfolios. As CEO Devin
Bosch puts it, “It’s your planet. Why not use your financial voice to make it a
better place to live?”
FocusEarth.com rose out of its CEO’s early experiences as a young investor
committed to social responsibility. “Years ago when I started investing I had an
extremely hard time finding any quality websites or consulting firms dedicated
to what I believe were socially responsible, environmentally friendly public
companies,” Bosch recalls. This lack of information and his own determination to
educate others in the eco-friendly investment community compelled Bosch to start
FocusEarth.com.
With a staff comprised of individuals as passionate about the environment as
they are professionally skilled, FocusEarth.com has earned industry-wide respect
for its high ethical standards and sound business model. Over the years, Bosch
and the FocusEarth.com team have hit on a formula that consistently uncovers the
companies that have it all: social conscience and business value.
“Utilizing a team of entrepreneurs, financial brokers and a corporate
investigator we select companies that fit a very specific set of criteria when
it comes to environmental, social and ethical responsibility,” says Bosch. “We
then filter those companies through an investment strategy screen and present
those special few that pass the test to our valued subscribers.”
The company emphasizes the small and micro cap financial market and aims to
provide its clients with the exposure needed to fuel growth. “When you get right
down to it, our business goal is to represent environmentally responsible
companies and help position them to be traded on larger financial markets,”
Bosch says.
One of the newest additions to the FocusEarth.com portfolio takes an innovative,
eco-sensitive approach to producing a ubiquitous product: food service
packaging. EarthShell Corporation (Symbol: ERTH) licenses and commercializes
proprietary technology for the manufacture of EarthShell Packaging. EarthShell
Packaging uses a unique composite technology that combines organics, like potato
starch, and inorganic materials, such as limestone. The materials and technology
employed by EarthShell result in a wide variety of cost-competitive products
with exceptional environmental advantages and performance attributes.
Another new FocusEarth.com portfolio company, Coffee Pacifica (Symbol: CFPC),
markets and distributes Papua New Guinea-grown arabica green bean coffee. The
company’s coffee farmers own shares in Coffee Pacifica and are paid a premium
price for their green bean coffee. Ownership of shares in a publicly traded
company enables them to sustain their farms and the environment as well as
attain a reasonable standard of living for themselves and an education for their
children.
Lean by design, FocusEarth.com accepts only a small number of clients and
approaches those clients’ financial and portfolio needs with a watchful eye and
round-the-clock dedication to success. In addition, the company offers financial
public relations, investor relations, general business development, strategic
planning, mergers and acquisitions, immediate access capital, networking, and
officer and director recruiting.
