Ethical Investment Definition
An investment policy which specialises in environmental and socially responsible investment, and is informed by shared commitment to improve the ethics of corporate Australia and promote ecologically sustainable and socially just enterprises through judicious investment.
Ethical investment (sometimes referred to as green, socially responsible or conscious investment) comes from the desire to ensure that an investor's investments are working in the same direction as an investor's ethics. For many people this means investing in investments that protect the natural environment while contributing to a just and sustainable human society. Ethical investment has two sides:
- avoiding unethical investments that damage others or the environment;
- promoting environmentally and socially responsible investments such as green and sustainable technologies.
