Positive Influence on Society
Positive change starts from within our 50,000 colleagues across North America, and the last year showed us just how much good can be done when we partner together to accomplish significant things. As a force for good, by the end of 2025, Edward Jones is aspiring to:
• Achieve U.S. and Canada diverse representation goals:

- 15% people of color and 40% women among U.S. and Canada home office general partners
- 15% people of color and 30% women among U.S. and Canadian financial advisors
• Raise $50 million over 10 years; the largest ever corporate commitment to support the Alzheimer’s Association mission to end Alzheimer’s disease
• Educate an estimated one million adults and youth building economic inclusion and financial health by 2025 through the Edward Jones Financial Fitness program
Environmentally Responsible
During our firm’s first 100 years, Edward Jones’ founders laid the groundwork for a legacy of sustainability. Now, as we celebrate our Centennial year in 2021, it’s up to us to continue to grow our impact in a new way. As we embark on a new framework for Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), we hope that we will set an example for our clients, colleagues and communities by:
• Aligning actionable strategies and measures to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDG) targets and sharing our progress in our 2022 report
• Quantifying the effects that sustainability and UN SDG commitments will have
• Measuring and reporting on impacts and outcomes, not just activities
Support Good Causes
Our colleagues demonstrate time and again that when we bring together our collective resources, reach and resolve, we create amazing opportunities for individuals, families and communities to thrive. By supporting good causes, we help bolster their mission and ability to reach underserved stakeholders. Through our example of working side by side with community organizations, we unleash extraordinary human potential – inspiring future generations to invest in and support their communities and connect to their own purpose in a way that creates shared value.
