Socially Responsible Investing

I have been reading some books on investing lately...I would like to 'retire' at some point! During my research I was so happy to come across the Corporate Responsibility Officer. This website lists the 100 best companies that combine business objectives with responsible practices across eight categories: environment, climate change, human rights, employee relations, corporate governance, lobbying, philanthropy and financial performance. I have included the top 10 companies listed on the CRO website: 

1. Intel
2. Eaton Corp.
3. Nike Inc.
4. Deere & Co.
5. Genentech Inc.
6. Corning Inc.
7. Humana Inc.
8. Bank of America Corp.
9. ITT Corp.
10. PG&E Corp.

So, not only can we make changes in our everyday lives to combat negative social issues, we can invest in companies that make it a priority to do the same. I think it is exciting that we can integrate the missional lifestyle in everything we do...nothing is off limits! I plan on adding some of these companies to my portfolio and hope that you consider doing the same.
