Letters: Ethical investments

Dear Editor:

I am a postal subscriber to The Echo. Each week, I enjoy reading the full page article by the CMK ghost writer. They are always well-written and thought-provoking.

“Honesty” was the title of the November 27th column, but it quickly evolved into “looking for ethical behaviour… more like to be ethical with people close to us… ” The body of the piece talked of the many changes we see around us. Moving to the last paragraph, we find CMK “growing and changing, knowing their deepest values and living according to them” and “finding (their clients’) values and incorporating them into (their) plan.” Commendable, to be sure.

Thus, I wonder if CMK offers ethical investment opportunities for people who prefer not to support businesses like weapons manufacturing, industries that pollute, sweatshop labour, etc., but, do want to support such businesses such as renewable energy systems, fair wages and safe work places, organic growers and so forth?
