Support National Ethical Investment Week!

This week it’s National Ethical Investment Week 2009, which takes place from the 8th November until November 14.  A cooperative campaign involving advisers, charities and trusts, financial organisations, faith groups, NGOS and community groups, National Ethical Investment Week (NEIW) 2009 aims to ensure everyone knows that they have green and ethical options when it comes to their investments.

As part of the week a number of meetings, presentations and events have been scheduled around the UK to support ethical investment - so if you’re interested in the ins-and-outs of credible, professional and trustworthy ethical investment, see whether there’s an event near you at http://www.neiw.org/neiw2009/events

Ethical Forestry is excited by NEIW 2009 for the most part because it’s not a talking shop – it’s a dynamic organisation with a wide range of stakeholders who hold a wide range of views. It’s not a ‘mouthpiece for the industry’, so we believe if offers an honest forum for debate and discussion, as well as a healthy focus for promoting the possibilities and rewards of ethical investment.

Behind NEIW 2009 is the UK Social Investment Forum (UKSIF), a sustainable investment and finance association which promotes responsible investment and other forms of finance that support sustainable economic development, enhance quality of life and safeguard the environment. Ethical Forestry views UKSIF as a credible, ‘front-line’ operator in responsible, ethical investment and we are currently in negotiations to become a member.
