Socially responsible investing (SRI) is investing that is mindful of the impact on
society of that investment. It is often described to investors as allowing them "to do
well by doing good." SRI usually describes investments that screen out companies that
violate environmental or other laws, use child labor or sweatshops, discriminate in
hiring, or -- in general -- produce products detrimental to society or engage in
practices deemed reprehensible by most people.
Although many people want to invest in socially responsible ways, until recently most
investors believed that they had to give up some measure of performance to do so.
The SRI Advantage demonstrates why this is emphatically not the case. It presents
overwhelming evidence that SRI has outperformed financially, explains in detail why
SRI outperforms, and then examines the implications for investment professionals,
investors, pension funds, and community/nonprofit groups. Authored by Peter Camejo
-- the chair of an SRI investment fund -- in collaboration with more than a dozen other
SRI professionals, The SRI Advantage includes chapters on:
Pension funds and fiduciary responsibility;
The energy industry and SRI;
SRI mutual fund performance;
The international dimension of SRI;
Community investing strategies; and
Foundations and mission-related investing.
Prefaced by consumer advocate Ralph Nader, and introduced by Republican corporate
accountability advocate Robert Monks, The SRI Advantage will be of special interest to
investment advisors and financial planners, private investors, the nonprofit sector,
brokers, mutual fund managers, and -- especially given the Enron scandal -- pension
fund trustees and staff.
