Any time you see an indication that big money and social responsibility are lining up, it's a good sign.
Here's an article that spotlights the growth in socially responsible investing (SRI). "How do SRI funds approach social responsibility," you may be wondering. Well, I'm glad you asked. Here's what the article has to say:
SRI funds use three approaches: screening, to select or reject certain industries (for example, choosing eco-friendly companies and avoiding tobacco or weapons manufacturers); shareholder advocacy, to influence company policies; and community investing, to raise the flow of capital to certain communities.
It's not "the solution," but it's a step in the right direction.
