The 2024 Joan Bavaria Award, which was co-sponsored by US SIF and Trillium, was presented to Joy Anderson, Suzanne Biegel (posthumously), and Jackie VanderBrug in recognition of their influential work in developing the field of Gender Lens Investing.

Gender lens investing utilizes a holistic approach towards integrating gender equity into financial systems. It informs frameworks for how investments are analyzed, prioritized, and executed, focusing on surfacing opportunities, decreasing risk, and dismantling gender disparities.  

“Jackie, Joy, and Suzanne, both together and individually, have – for decades – been advocating for more sustainable, inclusive economic environments,” said Matthew Patsky, CEO of Trillium Asset Management. “Joan Bavaria was a smart, passionate advocate of equality and understood the value of collaboration.  Each of these women share those traits."
