Investing for Good: Making Money While Being Socially Responsible

Proving that it is possible to make wise and profitable investments while still being socially conscious, this book details how to build a profitable portfolio that consists solely of ethically aware companies. It provides complete instructions for selecting, researching and screening potential investment opportunities for a wide range of social concerns - whether or not a company is "green", whether it has defense contracts, what its employee policies and community relations are like, what kind of overseas interests it maintains, how its products or services tally with an investor's preferences and more. The "Domini Social Index" helps readers control and direct their own funds even if invested in mutual funds, pension plans or stocks and bonds. Kinder, Lydenberg and Domini are the authors of "Ethical Investing" and "The Social Investment Almanac 1992".
