The spectacular growth of ethical and environmental investments shows that increasing numbers of people want their money used wisely to make a better world. Ethical investments exclude companies with interests in armaments, oppressive regimes, nuclear power, tobacco, vivisection, gambling, alcohol, and pornography. Environmental (and ethical) investments are also screened for positive factors. These include companies that are of long-term benefit to the community such as environmental improvement, conservation of resources, a good record of dealing with staff and customers, and an equal opportunities policy. Consider stocking away for the future while improving it through ethical investments.
