I got interested in SRI some forty years ago as I believed that when we invest in a company we share in the responsibility for the activities of the company as well as participate in the outcomes of the company's activities. Therefore anyone valuing their personal or spiritual growth has to take these things into account when investing. I also believe that if everyone does invest according to their personal values, then, since so many of core values are alike -- and are supportive of higher ideals -- that in the long run, only companies employing these higher values will truly prosper. For anyone interested I have a popular site that covers the latest global news and research on SRI. It's at http://investingforthesoul.com Best wishes, Ron Robins This is great SRI info!

Don't just visit the site, make a contribution to help support their efforts. It is tax-deductable.
