Socially Responsible Investing Basics for Individuals

Socially Responsible Investing Basics for Individuals

Make a Difference with Socially Responsible Investing.
Your savings and investments can help create a better world by building healthy communities, promoting economic equity, and fostering a clean environment.

 

 What is Socially Responsible Investing?

Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) is a broad-based approach to investing that now encompasses an estimated $3.07 trillion out of $25.2 trillion in the U.S. investment marketplace today. SRI recognizes that corporate responsibility and societal concerns are valid parts of investment decisions. SRI considers both the investor’s financial needs and an investment’s impact on society. SRI investors encourage corporations to improve their practices on environmental, social, and governance issues. You may also hear SRI-like approaches to investing referred to as mission investing, responsible investing, double or triple bottom line investing, ethical investing, sustainable investing, or green investing.

How You Can Get Involved?

The power of responsible investing is exercised in several ways:

  • Divert investments away from institutions or businesses that pollute or cause harm to the environment, conduct business in oppressive regimes, use unfair labor practices, produce nuclear weapons or nuclear power or employ other practices damaging to the quality of life.
  • Invest in companies and institutions whose products, services and practices contribute to a more socially just and sustainable society. Invest money in community banks, loan funds and similar financial vehicles.
  • Make a small investment in a company in order to influence the direction of business. Use shareholder activism to make a positive change to business practices.
  • Invest in community investing institutions such as community development banks, credit unions, or loan funds. You can find federally insured options and your dollars will help provide access to capital and basic financial services to low-income communities.
