Ethical
Investing is a subjective business and whereas
most investors may think twice about investing
in companies who profit from death, exploitation
or pollution, there may be differences of opinion
over tobacco, alcohol or gambling. Even so, it
is estimated that there is well over 2 trillion
dollars invested in some kind of socially screened
investment in the USA alone. The power that this
money and the millions of ethical investors can
wield is now recognised as a key driver for developing
strategies to protect the environment, alleviate
social hardship and stimulate sustainable economic
development.

We
do not offer financial advice here but but we
have done extensive research to bring you the
best sites that can help you make your ethical
financial decisions. I think you will be persuaded
that you can be a socially responsible, ethical
investor and make just as much profit, or more,
than by investing conventionally. But when it
comes to financial advice take heed of the following
wise words " it is very important
to remember that one's future financial security
should be placed in the hands of advisers who
are qualified to advise rather than qualified
to sell" |

We
are a non-profitmaking group dedicated to the
promotion of
ethical behaviour
creativity
freedom of expression
particularly in the fields of Business, Art and
Design.
We have had a keen interest in Ethical Investment
as a tool for change for many years and believe
that the signs are that this area is set to expand
phenomenally in the next decade. Campaigners like
Greenpeace and WWF are getting into the business
of business and people on the street are expecting
higher and higher standards from companies. Socially
responsible investing is one way those of us lucky
enough to have money to invest can keep the pressure
up.

From
the UK there is good material at
the ethical
investors Group and a very good
article
at the UK Channel 4 site and a great
ethical money news section at Guardian
Unlimited. For a more in depth
look at the issues around ethical
trade go to Ethical
Trading Initiative (ETI) which
is a UK alliance of companies, non-governmental
organisations (NGOs) and trade union
organisations.
From the US there is an interesting
site that gets into the methods
applied when 'screening' companies
and other hot topics - visit moneywisdom.com
.There is an article
packed with facts and figures at
the Green Money Journal and there
is always good stuff at the sustainableBusiness.com
, the link here is a preamble
for subscription to the Progressive
Investor, but it has some interesting
information.
From Australia there is ethical
investment services - a financial
planning firm that has some great
articles on its site
