An overview of
ethical and socially responsible investments
Socially responsible
investments
Socially responsible investments adhere to agreed negative
criteria and actively seek out firms making a positive contribution to society,
for example, those which feature:
- products and services
that are of long-term benefit to the community;
- conservation of energy
and natural resources;
- environmental improvement
and pollution control;
- good relations with
customers and suppliers;
- high employee welfare
standards;
- organic farming and
foods;
- strong community
involvement;
- a good equal
opportunities record;
- respect for the sanctity
and dignity of human life;
- openess about their
activities.
