Socially responsible investing (SRI) is an investment strategy that seeks to create social impact while making financial gains. It uses a screening process that considers the Environmental (E), Social (S), and Corporate Governance (G) impact of a company. Based on a company’s ESG score, it allows us to determine its viability as an investment.
At 5D, how clients choose to spend their money also falls under the SRI strategy. By being conscientious about where your money goes, whether it be an investment in a company or purchasing a product, you can leverage your dollar to create a positive social impact and promote socially responsible companies. The companies we choose to nourish and support will have an impact on society today and in the future.
