Burgess COMMENTARY
This paper is a useful introduction to the concept of responsible investing, trying to cut through the plethora of different names that are used for much the same thing.
The idea of three types of investing:
'Financial return only' ignoring all social and environmental issues
'Do no harm' in which financial return is associated with no negative impact on social and environmental issues
'Do good' investing in which there is financial return and positive impact on social and environmental issues
