A History of Economie

TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFFERENCE

 

This website is NOT associated with Economie. It is a history of the organisation and an outline of its goals, aspirations and reason d'etre.

 

The organisation was a leading force in offering financial advice to those investors who wanted to look at ways their money could be used and wanted to see both an ethical and a positive social impact from its use.

 

Feel good about making money

More and more people are realising that it doesn't have to be that way. Socially responsible investment (SRI) combines the ethical, social and environmental considerations of the investor with their financial objectives. It avoids the anomalous situation of a cancer charity unknowingly supporting a tobacco company or a pacifist investing in the arms industry.

 

By consulting a Financial Adviser with specialist SRI skills you can align your financial planning with your personal values: It allows you to have control - you should have a say over which companies your hard earned money supports and what activities it's used for. It means you can have a clean conscience and feel good about your investments, knowing you are not compromising your beliefs and principles. It means you take responsibility for the effect your investments have on human, animal and environmental life. And it enables you to use your monetary power to bring about positive social and environmental change whilst still enjoying competitive returns.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aims

 

Economie aims to help create a world where investment with social, environmental and ethical consideration is the universal norm. We believe, as a matter of principle, that each individual should be able to invest in a way that reflects his or her personal values. Perhaps more importantly, we believe that together we can take charge of our monetary power to build a future in which prosperity doesn't rely on the impoverishment of others, despoiling the environment or fuelling conflict.

 

We aim to achieve this by raising global awareness of socially responsible investment, by transforming attitudes towards it and, more specifically, by increasing public access to expert SRI advice. This website lists financial advice that was freely given by Economie on all areas of ethical and socially responsible investments. The authors take no responsibly for any of the financial information or advice herein and are advise to take independent advice before proceeding with any investments, pensions or mortgages.
