To an ethical investor, growth doesn't always lead to happiness. Investors are looking for ways to differentiate good growth from bad growth.
Adam Seitchik, chief investment strategist for Trillium Asset Management, and Karen Shapiro, shareholder advocacy associate with Domini Social Investments, discuss how investors can try to invest in 'good growth.'
"Why should ethical investors worry about zoning battles?
Shapiro: As investors, we are concerned about the financial and reputational risk of the companies that we invest in. So if a big-box store is going to start encountering problems with placing their stores in an area ... this ends up being litigated, [or at least] slows their whole process down, at a great cost to the company and to its shareholders."
