Column: The Socially Conscious Advisor
One thing is certain: The ranks of responsible investors?those who want their money working to simultaneously make money and help to transform the world in very positive ways?are growing. And the emphasis is shifting from avoiding companies that are doing harmful things, to seeking out companies that are finding sustainability to be a competitive advantage.

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."
