http://www.wiseexec.com/Upshot/_25.aspx?Code=1Socially responsible investing (SRI) takes the long term vs. short term investment debate to a socially conscious level. In contrast to many corporations who exploit natural resources and human labor for short-term profits, a company that qualifies for SRI operates under long-term natural sustainability. For example, the oil magnates such as Exxon-Mobile and Chevron have experienced exponential growth in the last several years. However, where will these companies be in 10 or 20 years – when the oil rigs are pumped dry and consumers have switched over to hydrogen-fuel cars? In stark contrast, green investing emphasizes the long-term sustainability of corporate social responsibility on the environment, community, and economic well-being. Tuesday, 19 February 2008
