SRI in the Rockies Day One

Yesterday was the kick off to the annual SRI (Socially Responsible Investing) in the Rockies Conference. This is the largest gathering of its kind, bringing together financial planners, investment advisors, mutual fund managers, separate account managers and others involved in the goal of permanently marrying the broader social good with profitability and financial return.

This year’s conference is in Whistler Canada, a break taking town in the Cascade Mountains and future home to the 2010 winter Olympics. The town itself is a leader in the sustainability movement. Sustainability has been expressed as meeting the resource needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Another way of looking at sustainability is to consume resources no faster than the earth can reprocess them.
