Socially Responsible Investment Indexes
Nowadays, individual investors do not need to research companies themselves in order to make socially responsible investments. There
are a number of official indexes, which are used to monitor the
performance of particular groups of SRIs and to compare this with the
performance of other types of investments.
Among the most commonly used socially responsible investment indexes
are:
In their screening processes, the companies operating these indexes focus on the ways that companies develop and sell their products and services. Little weight is given to other activities such as donating to charities, which might only serve to divert attention from any socially detrimental practices the companies might be undertaking.
Many of the largest and most successful blue-chip companies in the world actually account for a high proportion of stocks in the socially responsible investment market. These include, for example, Intel, Microsoft, Compaq and Johnson & Johnson.
Some Canadian companies included on the Jantzi index include the Royal Bank of Canada, BCE, Toronto-Dominion Bank, Bank of Nova Scotia, Bank of Montreal, CIBC, Sun Life Financial Services of Canada, Alcan Aluminum, Canadian National Railway and Suncor Energy.
