Ethical investment
Origin: Lat. ethĭcus, Gr. ἠθικός, Lat. invertere, vertere
(Financial involvement in ethical companies and sustainable practices which cause no depletion of natural assets or environmental degradation, have no involvement in weapons, uranium, gambling, tobacco or alcohol, and do not infringe the rights of workers, women, indigenous people, children or animals. Many may not agree during the lifetime; this is “realized eschatology” The theoretical physics also contributes towards eschatology, with current cosmological models tending to favor the “heat death” of the universe over the “big crunch”, depending upon the mass of the mysterious “dark matter” of the universe. Strategy and management: the study of logical endpoints and the projection of processes or philosophical models to their ultimate inferred conclusion. Is an umbrella term for a philosophy of investing by both financial and social criteria. SRI investors seek to align their personal values and financial goals by choosing to invest in companies and organizations displaying values comparable to their own. In recent years Socially Responsible Investing has evolved into two groups that are largely differentiated by political orientation. Progressive SRI investors follow criteria that support a variety of values, ranging from environmental protection to worker’s rights.
