How We Are Making Difference

We introduce our clients to investing in a way that aims to create shared prosperity — not only for themselves, but for society at large. Today, approximately 80% of the assets at Hansen’s Advisory Services, Inc. (HAS) are invested using sustainable investment criteria. Our team has extensive knowledge and deep experience in socially responsible investing, and many of our clients are highly engaged in their communities and committed to helping make the world more peaceful, equitable, and resilient.

We also provide retirement plan consulting for non-profit organizations and their employees. We have no strict account minimums — we welcome anyone who has a desire to pursue their financial goals with intention and responsibility.

HAS has been part of the social justice movement since our founding in 1987. Established by school teacher Susan Hansen, our team remains personally and professionally dedicated to advancing social, environmental, and economic justice in the world.

  • HAS is woman-owned and women-operated.
  • Every team member has a voice in making decisions.
