Socially responsible investing (SRI) is about more than growing your wealth—it's about using your investments to make a positive impact. Whether you’re passionate about environmental sustainability, social justice, or ethical corporate governance, SRI lets you align your portfolio with your values.
What Is Socially Responsible Investing?
Socially responsible investing involves choosing investments based on ethical or moral principles. This often includes avoiding companies involved in harmful activities, like tobacco or fossil fuels, and supporting those committed to sustainability, clean energy, or community development.
With the Life Planner app, you can document your SRI goals using journaling templates. Add tags like "sustainability" or "social impact" to keep your portfolio aligned with your values.
How to Get Started with SRI
Starting with SRI is easier than you think. Follow these steps:
- Define Your Values: Identify the causes and principles you care about most.
- Research Companies and Funds: Look for investments that prioritize environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors.
- Use SRI Funds: Many mutual funds and ETFs are designed specifically for socially conscious investors.
Use Life Planner’s photo and video attachment features to save snapshots of impactful companies or funds you’re considering. Reflect on these choices in your journal entries.
