| Abstract: | Ethical and environmental investment criteria, collectively grouped under the title socially responsible investment (SRI), are becoming increasingly important factors in today's markets. Nowadays, banks, pension funds and other investment institutions frequently undertake some form of environmental risk analysis of an organization's relevant operational practices before committing themselves to direct investment. Factors such as a company's past pollution record, its future potential to contaminate and its overall social policy are often cited as important influences in this respect. Many funding institutions now have their own ethical investment arms, even if these are not part of their mainstream activity. |
