Collaborate DSM Member Spotlight Series: Earth Month Edition

Join Collaborate DSM on Thursday, April 19 for our very first Member Spotlight Series event, an open house party featuring RecycleMe Iowa and Disciplined Equities Management! 

This upcoming Earth Day marks eight years in business for RecycleMe Iowa—we hope you will join us in celebrating their 8th b[earth] day! 

Appetizers & refreshments will be served and we're proud to partner with Ciji to ensure this will be a ZERO WASTE event. 

RecycleMe Iowa (RMI) is a full recycling service that offers indoor and outdoor pickup options at offices and multi-unit apartment complexes. RMI also provides zero-waste consultation and full recycling services for events up to 30,000 attendees.

Their mission is to provide affordable, convenient access to recycling programs and services. 

Before RecycleMe Iowa, there wasn’t a local affordable option for recycling. Ciji and her incredible team recognized this problem, reached out to friends and other community members to gather information and support, and RecycleMe Iowa was born Earth Day 2010!

RecycleMeIowa became a Member of Collaborate DSM and moved into their new office space on January 18, 2018. 

Ciji says it's the professional atmosphere and setting that drew her to our space. "Being creative is great, but there’s also time for routine and structure, which Collaborate’s facility is able to offer." 

In case you missed it, Collaborate DSM was awarded 'Best New Business of The Year' by the Des Moines West Side Chamber of Commerce. We are absolutely honored and would like to thank each of you for helping us make this happen!

Clinton Akerberg will share how Disciplined Equities Management is involved in Environmentally Conscious and Sustainable (ESG) and High Impact Portfolio (HIP) investment strategies. 

A growing number of investors seek to align their investments with their personal values. High Impact Portfolios (HIP) invest in companies and funds that are committed to sustainable business practices. **

There is a growing base of evidence that suggests companies that are environmentally sustainable, socially responsible, and have positive screens for corporate governance and diversity in executive leadership (ESG) outperform funds that do not share this focus.

Disciplined Equities' mission is to inspire clients in making informed decisions through education, communication and service that exceeds their expectation.
