Sustainable investing is a phrase to describe investment approaches that take more than traditional business metrics into consideration when making decisions.
Increasingly, people want to feel that their investments are in alignment with their own values, for example in terms of how corporations treat their workforce or the environment. But from an investment perspective, many SRI and "green" investments may be positioned for tremendous growth moving forward, as the world grapples with issues such as meeting energy needs and the need to develop industries that are sustainable from an economic and environmental perspective.
Sustainable investing is a complex, large, and growing field, and encompasses such areas as renewable energy, clean-tech, social and/or economic justice, etc. These areas would appropriate as part of many people's overall investment strategy.
