The Green Advisor: SRI & Green Investing Grow Up
Almost 40 years after the first Earth Day, green is now mainstream
* Robert F. Keane
11/1/2009
"Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) has for decades remained on the fringe of strategic money management, routinely battling the perception that prioritizing an ethical or social focus requires sacrificing significant returns. The recent freefall of markets and business morality, however, has triggered a greater awareness of correlations between company performance, integrity, and transparency?an interdependence that highlights the nature and high potential of an evolved form of SRI."
