WHY INVEST
SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE
|
|
“Companies
are owned by shareholders, and so long as these
shareholders put profit maximization ahead of all
other considerations, SO WILL CORPORATIONS!”
Socially
Responsible Investing, Making a Difference and Making Money
Amy Domini, Dearborn
Trade, 2001, pg 5
The
fact of the matter is, The way we invest DOES MATTER!!!
Particularly
in our current environment of reduced government
regulation, it is the investor that is best able to hold
corporations accountable for their actions.
