We at Adbongo are excited by the latest report regarding socially responsible investing (SRI), and we thought we’d spread the news.  Lately, reading the papers hasn’t exactly been a joyful experience, so we’re happy to share a study that paints an optimistic picture of the state of human consciousness.

The Social Investment Forum Foundation’s 2010 Trends Report reveals that during the most recent financial crisis, from 2007 to 2010, the overall universe of professionally managed assets has remained roughly flat while SRI assets have enjoyed healthy growth.  During this time period, social investing enjoyed a growth rate of more than 13-percent.  As we evolve from a free market economy into a more functional one, more and more people are investing in socially responsible businesses.   Read more …
