Preface

The rationale behind this book is to provide an up-to date, easily accessible research guide in areas of relevance and interest for socially responsible investment (SRI). A succinct description of SRI is provided by the independent financial advisers Holden Meehan who state that it, “involves considering the ethical, social and environmental performance of companies selected for investment in addition to their financial performance”. The chapters included analyse the main areas of concern in relation to SRI. It is important to remember that these issues are no longer minor concerns, but have entered the mainstream and are issues of serious concern to governments and other international organisations. This is a major impetus behind the writing of this book. Petra Molthan in her introduction gives an informed account of the history, development and importance of SRI and the issues surrounding it. This book will be of interest to all those whose work in the area of or have an interest in the fields of ethical investment and SRI. This includes financial institutions, market research and consultancy firms, academic researchers and libraries. Moreover individuals wishing to devise their own investment criteria or keep informed of the multitude of issues in this area will find this book an invaluable reference work. The areas analysed are those recognised in the SRI field to be of most significance. They are presented here as individual chapters and are of importance both in their own right and also when seen together as an overall framework of issues deemed important with regard to ethical and socially responsible investment. The areas covered are: • • • • • • • • •

The Environment Human Rights Working Conditions Animal Welfare Arms Issues Food Safety Sexual Exploitation Health & Safety Tobacco

In these main nine chapters we have analysed and provided further information on source material relating to each topic. Every record has been inIX

Preface

dividually selected and evaluated with full contacts provided, in order to facilitate ease of access. An increasing number of the entries are available either in part or in full on the World Wide Web, making access for readers even quicker. Each chapter, bar the environment chapter, is arranged by type of source material and then alphabetically. The chapter on environment, owing to its importance and number of entries has been further broken down by detailed subject headings. In addition to the nine chapters specified above we have also included two further chapters. The first provides details of sources on the actual topic of SRI itself and the second is a selected list of ethical and SRI investment funds available on the UK and US market. Finally we are aware that there may be sources that have not been included in this book and indeed new sources appear almost daily. As stated the purpose of this book is to provide an authoritative guide with the most valuable sources selected for inclusion. The editors would however, welcome suggestions for future editions from readers regarding details of any useful sources not included here. These and any other comments can be made direct to the editors. We look forward to hearing from you. The editors would also like to express their gratitude to Charlotte Nunn for her invaluable assistance in the compilation of this book.

Introduction Petra Molthan

In July 2000 the UK government issued new regulations requiring pension funds to declare “the extent … to which environmental, social or ethical considerations are taken into account in the selection, retention and realisation of investments.”1 The announcement was a further step in making ‘Socially Responsible Investing’ (SRI) more popular among institutional investors. In anticipation of this law, a lot of pension funds were beginning to develop an ethical investment policy. Not only in the UK but all over the world the idea of SRI is spreading. In the United States nearly one out of eight dollars under professional management is invested into socially screened investments. The $2.34 trillion being managed by major investing institutions (including pension funds, mutual fund families, foundations, religious organisations and community development financial institutions) for socially concerned investors accounts for nearly 12 % of the total $19.9 trillion in investment assets under management in the U.S. Assets in SRI-portfolios rose by 36% compared to 22% for all investment assets during 1999 to 2001.2 While in previous years only a few ethical funds were established for high value-led individuals and institutions, e.g. the pension funds of churches, the so-called ‘lighter’3 ethical funds are becoming increasingly important. Even ‘mainstream financial and regulatory institutions are using SRI screening models to rate companies’ environmental or social performance, for inclusion in indices or financial portfolios’ (SustainAbility 2000). An additional influence on the increasing popularity of SRI comes from the results of different empirical studies, which state that the environmental and social performance of a company has an impact on its financial well-being.4 Indices of social responsibility continue to 1 2 3

Amendment to the Pensions Act 1995 from 3 July 2000 http://www.socialinvest.org/areas/news/2001-trends.htm The term ‘light’ in opposite to the ‘dark green funds’ is especially used in the press, see for example Barnett, S. 1999, ‘“Light green” funds more a slow burn than a boom’. Investment Adviser, 22nd November. Refer for example to the results of a study undertaken in the UK: Fifty companies in eight FTSE All Share sectors, assessed by Jupiter Asset Management as being environmentally the best in their sector, were compared with their ‘non-green’ competitors in the same sector between 1992 and 1996. The study found that there is a positive link between environmental and financial performance, with over two-thirds of companies that implemented environmental

outperform the more traditional ones, e.g. the total annualised returns for the Domini 400 Social Index (DSI 400) showed a gain of 13.77 %, while the S&P 500 rose 12.95 % over the same time for the 10-year period ending December 31, 2001.5 While SRI is on the increase, so is the need for accessible information. The knowledge management in SRI is difficult but crucial for its success. The aim of this book is to offer an evaluative guide to sources of SRI for companies or organisations dealing with these issues, for example as fund managers or as companies being surveyed. It is divided into different subheadings so that the reader with an interest in a special topic e.g. animal testing will easily find various useful websites and other references for updating their knowledge in this area. The resources collated in this book are especially useful for ethical analysts or fund managers who have to keep track of the latest developments and their potential implications for their chosen ethical investment strategy.

Content of the introduction The introduction is divided into three parts. The first section highlights some landmarks in the history of SRI. The second section offers a systematic overview of the main ethical/socially responsible investment strategies currently in use. Recommendations will be given on how to choose an ethical investment strategy and how to implement it into the daily operation of an investment department. The final section of the introduction offers some advice on how to organise the knowledge management and how to make the most of this book.

History of SRI 1. Phase: The roots in religious movements The roots of SRI can be tracked back to various religious movements. The Quakers were the very first in the 18th century to withdraw from those involved in the slave trade. Single investors and later whole congregations chose not to buy “sin” stocks in companies involved in gambling, alcohol production, prostitution and/or tobacco. In the UK religious ideas motivated Victorians to include issues such as temperance and fair employment conditions in their investment decisions. In 1920 the Methodist church started to invest into the stock market using a negative screening approach (Gambling,

History of SRI

Alcohol). The Quaker movement followed excluding companies producing weapons. As early as 1973 the Church Investors Group was founded in the UK to enable the exchange of views and information between investors working for the different denominations.

2. Phase: The forerunners The SRI movement can be said to have taken off in 1970, when the first shareholder resolutions were filed against companies investing or working under the apartheid regime in South Africa. By the 1980s, billions of dollars had been divested from South Africarelated companies. e.g. Mobil, Goodyear, and Johnson & Johnson. They were forced to sell their operations in South Africa. The U.S. government enacted statutes, such as the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986, banning new investments in South Africa. All over the world similar actions were taking place. The South-African economy suffered under these sanctions, which resulted in the reform process being started in 1989. But back in the early 1970s two investment managers in New York and Boston took the lead to manage portfolios with social criteria for selected institutional investors and individuals. One of them, Robert Zevin in Boston reported that one client who did not want nuclear utilities in his portfolio made him embark on the movement. ‘An economist by training, Zevin became convinced after doing the economic analysis. His earliest commentaries on SRI stress that a poor investment decision from the point of view of a social analysis will also make a poor financial decision.’ (Shapiro 1992) In 1971 the first mutual fund (unit trust) in the USA, the Pax World Club, was created by a group of Methodist clergy. This fund was especially aimed towards investors who did not want to profit from the Vietnam War.

3. Phase: Institutionalisation of SRI The aftermaths of the Vietnam War, the peace movement, civil rights and later anti-nuclear and environmental pressure groups (largely triggered by accidents such as Chernobyl and the Exxon Valdez oil spill) all contributed to the rising recognition of SRI. By 1984 total assets of 40 billion dollars were socially screened (Shapiro 1992). In 1981, the American Social Investment Forum was formed as a professional body for all individual and institutional members active in SRI. Although it took a further decade until the UK Social Investment Forum was founded in 1991, by 1983 the Ethical Investment Research Service (EIRiS) had been set up in the UK to act as a common source on companies’ activities. The following year Friends Provident launched the first UK based unit trust, the Stewardship Fund. Between 1984 and 1990 ‘more than twenty socially responsible investment alternatives (…), many as unit trusts’ (Miller 1991) were started all over the UK.

Introduction

4. Phase: The rise of “dark green” funds In response to the growing concern about environmental issues, “green” unit trusts arrived in 1988 with the launch of the Merlin Ecology Fund (now the Jupiter Ecology Fund). Other environmental funds soon followed. A major step in the development of environmental investing was the introduction of the Valdez Principles in 1989. Named after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska and authored by CERES (Coalition for Environmentally Responsible Economies), the principles establish standards and procedures for evaluating the environmental performance of companies.

5. Phase: SRI goes mainstream In the beginning of the 1990s the first social index was created by the social research firm of Kinder, Lydenberg, Domini & Co., Inc. (KLD): Domini 400 Social Index. In creating the Index, KLD started by screening the companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index at that time, eliminating those companies that failed to qualify under the exclusionary and qualitative screens. In addition, KLD chose approx. 50 firms with outstanding social characteristics. Since 1992 the Domini 400 Social Index has constantly outperformed the S&P 500. Ethical banking was highly encouraged in 1992 when The Co-operative Bank introduced its successful ethical policy. The strong ethical orientation is combined in the Bank’s Mission Statement with a clear commitment towards a successful, innovative and profitable financial service. In the first year after implementing the new ethical policy the banks profitability showed a significant improvement, moving from a loss (after taxation) of £2,629,000 in 1991 to a profit of £6,270,000 in 1993.The management claimed that this turnaround has to be attributed to the ethical policy.6 The Co-operative Insurance Society (CIS), a part of the Co-operative Movement, was the first financial services organisation in the UK that adopted an ethical policy for all its funds, the so-called Responsible Shareholding Scheme. This new positioning was encouraged through different factors, but first of all by the announcement of Pensions Minister John Denham in 1998 that he was “minded to require trustees to disclose to what extent, if any, they have taken account of social responsibility considerations in their investment strategy”. Since the law was actually issued on 3 July 2000, all occupational pension funds have to declare formally whether or not they aim to develop policies on social and/or environmental issues. ‘A UK Social Investment Forum survey published in October 2000 found that 59% of the largest pension funds, representing over £230 billion of assets, had incorporated social responsibility issues into their investment strategies.’ (Shepherd 2001) 6

The development and implementation of the ethical policy in The Co-operative Bank is described in Kitson 1996, p.63 ff.

Ethical investment strategies – Definitions and opportunities

In the United States there are about 230 mutual funds that follow SRI strategies in their investment process. ‘More than $900 billion in investment assets are leveraged through shareholder advocacy. Institutions and mutual fund families used the power of their $906 billion stake in corporate America to sponsor or co-sponsor proxy resolutions on social issues.’ (Social Investment Forum News 2001) With its earlier start, the size of the investment market in the US is not easy to catch up with for British institutions, but according to UK industry commentators ethically screened portfolios are expected to grow ‘as much as five-fold in the next few years’ (Shepherd 2001). Additionally the rise of social indexes as counterparts to the traditional, exclusively financial indices will give ethical investment a further boost. In 1999, the Dow Jones Sustainability Group Indexes (one global index, three regional indexes and one country index covering the US) were launched: in 2001 the arrival of the FTSE4GOOD index marks a further move of SRI into mainstream investment.

Ethical investment strategies – Definitions and opportunities The use of the term ‘Socially Responsible Investment’ in the UK tends to separate the ‘old-style’ ethical approach with its avoidance of certain industries and products from the new move towards engagement with companies to seek best practise. Besides the observation that the older ethical funds were not solely using negative screening7, this distinction between ethical funds on one hand and Socially Responsible Investment on the other makes it difficult to see the common features and the fluid transition. In the following the term ‘ethical investment’ will be used to describe a set of different approaches that combine ethical goals with conventional financial criteria. ‘In ethical investment we are interested in how a company makes its money, not just how much.’ (Cowton 1999) “Ethical investment, socially responsible investment, social screening, responsible shareholding” – in the business community as well as in the academic world there is a lot of confusion about what differentiates ethical investment strategies. Figure 1 brings these different and, so far, separate terms into a common framework for ethical investment strategies. It distinguishes between different terms according to whether they describe a goal or method for the investment strategy. Practitioners in the investment sector will find it useful to decide what kind of action they want to take. They can combine different components and possibilities to develop their own ethical investment strategy. Institutions who already started to implement an ethical investment strategy will find it possible to identify their initial position and future possibilities for development.

Introduction

Figure 1: Ethical Investment Strategies: Goals and Methods

Each institution can combine different goals with different methods. An investment department might decide to focus on corporate governance including the disclosure of environmental reports with the aim of encouraging companies to develop best practice in these areas. Their choice of method might be to use their voting rights and to have an annual meeting with each company. Another option for example might be to use positive screening to find companies with the best eco-efficient products in a certain area (e.g. in Telecommunication). Defining one’s own ethical investment strategy is useful for developing future perspectives. An investment strategy based upon the exercise of voting rights might develop into the possible threat of sanctions if the former strategy proves unsuccessful. Another institution might extend the best practise approach in social issues towards best practise in sustainability. The following part will explain the terms used in the figure above and indicate some possible ethical investment strategies.

Goals An ethical investment strategy has a certain purpose. For example, a financial institution may want to encourage companies to improve their social performXVI

ance. Or the institution may want to take environmental performance into account, because they realise the connection between environmental and financial performance as described above. For some institutions/funds the environmental performance is an independent objective in its own right. However, most fund managers would set the financial performance before any other ethical objectives. They might choose their stocks according to the financial performance and try to improve the corporate governance or environmental reporting of the chosen company by using their voting rights. But they would not threaten to sell their stocks as long as the financial performance is outstandingly good. Other fund managers might use ethical considerations especially in regards to environmental issues, because they add financial value to the investment. In all three cases the financial performance is important and must always be an objective at least to a certain extent. The goals considered in the figure 1 are additional non-financial objectives. The table below gives an idea of what could be included in choosing any of these goals. It also indicates some of the possible overlaps between some of the goals for example economic and environmental in eco-efficiency.

Introduction

Corporate Governance

Sustainability

Number of non-executive directors, separation of the chairman and chief executive functions, directors’ pay, separate vote to accept the report(s) and accounts, adequate reporting (which links corporate governance with environmental and social issues) Workplace health and safety, equal opportunities for women and minorities, no child labour, labour rights, and wages and working conditions at outsourced operations Sustainability links economic, social and environmental goals, covers therefore all the issues mentioned above10

‘Best in Class’ Funds following a ‘Best in Class’-approach look for business at the social or ecological cutting edge, such as the best not in absolute terms but with respect to their particular domain or the particular industry group they belong to. Looking at these benchmarks companies have a strong incentive to become the ‘best in class’ in order to fulfil the expectations of investors. This approach makes it possible to invest in sensitive sectors such as the chemical industry and to pinpoint the best in class companies there. But this also causes some difficulties. The ‘Best in Class’ can be for example the only one who is reporting on environmental issues. If everyone else in the sector is on a very low base, the ‘Best in Class’ might be very basic in its approaches. On the other hand the ‘Best in Class’ approach offers incentives for innovation in order to be ahead of one’s peer group.

Best in absolute terms In this case the investment strategy is led by certain principles according to which companies are screened and/or chosen for engagement. For example the principle might be to have a certain standard in environmental reporting e.g. following the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines11. Companies that do not follow these guidelines are disqualified even if they are already more engaged than others in their peer group.

Goals

This investment strategy encourages companies to develop environmentfriendly products and to look for the best existing reporting methods and useful tools for improving the processes. Companies that are pioneers in certain areas, for example ecological technology, are favoured. If they do have difficulties raising money, a pension fund with this investment strategy might help them to develop their products and to create value not only for themselves but also for society in general. On the other hand this approach might exclude certain industries such as oil and gas, because of their products, or such as software technology, because they have no environmental reporting at all. New initiatives by these companies, e.g. an oil company investigating renewable resources, are not honoured. No incentive is given for taking the first steps towards environmental reporting etc, because of this being still a long way off from the perceived best method in absolute terms.

Involvement Most of the so-called ‘green funds’ determine the percentage of acceptable involvement in an activity otherwise forbidden by the funds’ criteria. Some “dark green” funds, for example, totally exclude companies with a share in companies that generate nuclear power. Apart from this an allowance of five percent in ‘forbidden’ activities is generally being made. When defining an investment strategy, it is important to choose which of the company’s activities should be included e.g. when looking at cross shareholding or when deciding if a company should also take account of suppliers and/or other involvements.

Engagement In the last years shareholder activism has become increasingly popular, first in the USA, later in Europe. While in the USA matters of concern are frequently raised at companies ‘Annual General Meetings’ (AGMs), European funds tend to follow a ‘softer’ approach by engaging companies in dialogue.12 Engagement can be defined as a ‘conscious process in which areas of improvement are identified for individual companies; the investor then seeks to persuade the company to commit to change, and monitors the implementation of any commitments made.’ (Hine 2000)

Responsible Shareholding The term ‘responsible shareholding’, sometimes also called “shareholder advocacy”, reflects the same active approach as the term engagement. The main actor in this engagement, the shareholder, is then also mentioned. 12

Introduction

Loyal shareholders have an interest in the market value of ‘their’ companies to be as high as possible, particularly in the long term, and not only for themselves but for all other stakeholders, i.e. customers, employees, suppliers, the society and the environment. However, to have such an impact they must remain shareholders, which may not be the case if their approach to asset management is very selective. Responsible shareholding is therefore the active engagement of shareholders with companies based on their principles. This active engagement is often delegated to fund managers acting in the interest of all the shareholders together. Three main methods can be identified: Dialogue, Voting and Resolution at AGMs. The dialogue will be usually the first step. The ethical policy has to be communicated to companies that are held in the fund. Questionnaires, correspondence, meetings and visits are possible means to inform companies about desirable change. Companies can be encouraged and supported when they adopt ethical policies. Exercising voting rights is another mechanism that shareholders/fund managers have for expressing their views. Voting guidelines have to be developed firstly. The agendas of the Annual General Meetings are then analysed according to the proxy voting guidelines and voting rights are exercised in line with these defined guidelines. There are professional services e.g. a corporate governance service, which will provide the analysis needed and give recommendations on how to vote according to certain principles. Shareholders have also the right to propose additional agenda items for the Annual General Meeting. In the USA in 1998 ‘more than 200 resolutions were filed at AGMs by shareholders concerned about the impact companies were having on the environment and society’ (Taylor 2000). Some non-profitorganisations like Greenpeace have started to use these possibilities. After they successfully filed a resolution at the AGM of BP Amoco, Greenpeace went even further and bought in May 2000 shares in Shell to build coalitions with other shareholders. In Germany the ‘Kritische Aktionaere’ (critical shareholders), a network of ethical shareholders, were able to file a resolution at the AGM of the ‘Deutsche Bank’ in June 2001. A pension fund that is using these methods of engagement / responsible shareholding should decide if they want to threaten with sanctions if the ‘softer methods’ show no results. Voting against resolutions at the AGMs is already a form of sanction. But there might be a bottom line when the fund managers decide to cease engagement and sell the holding. In this case the connection between engagement and selection becomes obvious: Exercising the threat of selling a holding in a company, will turn the method of the investment strategy from engagement to selection.

Selection/Screening A social (ethical) screen has been defined as a ‘non-financial criterion that augments an investor’s financial standards and reflects the investor’s social, ethical or religious concerns’ (SustainAbility 2000). Fund managers, or in XX

Goals

most cases the advisory board, employ screening to create an ‘acceptable list‘ of companies. In previous years the preferred method had been negative screening. These exclusion funds were/are eliminating companies that operate in a sector considered non-sustainable or ethically dubious or companies that used unacceptable processes like animal testing. While the exclusion funds follow a ‘negative policy’ through avoiding, reducing or withdrawing from ethically objectionable investments, the positive screening approach is to choose investments in companies with laudable policies. The so-called ‘green funds’ are an example for positive screening. They identify companies that take environmental criteria into consideration. Often combinations of both screening methods are being used. Companies are for example first screened according to the positive criteria. From the resulting list companies are removed if they pursue certain practices e.g. animal testing for cosmetic purposes. Some of these ‘new’ screening approaches are summarised below. It has to be noted that screening as a method is always combined with certain goals like sustainability. 13

‘Screening funds’ (different approaches) : a) Benchmark approach: Based on an index e.g. sustainable development index. Constructing a portfolio that reproduces the structure of an index of shares with a positive environmental and social rating. b) Exclusive-active approach: Including in a portfolio only companies that have a triple positive evaluation or produce certain environment – friendly products etc. c) Integrated-active approach: The selection of companies follows a positive financial analysis. Then, from among the selected companies, those that have positive environmental and/or social ratings are given positive weightings to be applied to the financial returns, while the others are assigned negative weights (but are not excluded). The socially and environmentally adjusted financial information is then reconsidered. The different approaches described above are summaries of possible investment strategies from which a pension or investment fund can make a choice. There are many variations possible on how to combine each goal with one or even more methods. The chosen ethical investment strategy will then determine where to concentrate the financial (and human) resources and how to organise the knowledge management.

The three approaches have been defined by: Biedermann, Dominique F. 2000. Integrating non-financial and ethical criteria into the investment process. in: IBC Global Conferences Limited 2000. Socially Responsible Investment in the Pensions Industry. Conference Paper. London: IBC UK Conferences.

Introduction

Knowledge Management As mentioned above the knowledge management is crucial for the success of the SRI. The analyst has to deal with an ongoing flow of news and information. The very first step in the implementation phase of an SRI is to collate and prioritise the sources. This can be a very time-consuming and expensive procedure. At this point in time it is especially helpful to use an evaluative guide to the important sources as the present book. The easy access to useful information given here will also be the key to fast, reliable and rich results further down the line of the decision process, and whenever goals or methods are modified. There is a wealth of information. The book raises some complex questions about the extent to which known information e.g. national news should be followed up. Is it important to know the background of a given environmental scandal? Does a press release about a new invention add any value to the research of a certain company? And to what extent should an analyst take the information of pressure groups into account? The first step in the knowledge management is to establish the research objectives. If a company for example wants to focus on environmental reporting for an initial dialogue with companies, all other information, such as on health and safety, environmental management systems, new inventions or environmental technology, should be neglected for the moment. But this is not everything an analyst needs to decide. He or she has to decide also which resources they want to use. Only certain web sites and certain magazines can be read on a daily base. They need to evaluate levels of credibility; for example: Are the investigations of Greenpeace or other pressure groups the most reliable? Are there certain groups, which have a balanced approach? etc. The topic has to be analysed according to the issues involved and their envisaged developments. It is for example important in environmental reporting to notice the developments in the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative), which, at the moment, is setting the benchmark for the best in class approach. At the same time the ethical analyst has not only to update himself on issues like environmental reporting, he also needs to know the environmental reports of the companies he wants to get involved with. The knowledge needed for a successful dialogue is illustrated in figure 2 (see page 21). Knowledge management is an ongoing process. If there are many people involved in the research, special attention should be given to the knowledge management process. It does not make sense that each analyst is reading the same magazines or accessing the same News Service in the Internet. Starting from the goals and objectives it has to be decided, who is going to build an expertise in which area (or which research service will provide the necessary knowledge). Each person who is going to get involved with the company (correspondence or annual meetings) needs to know about all issues that are likely to be raised. But this does not mean that each person has actually to do the research. The important findings of the XXII

Conclusion Figure 2 : Knowledge Management

research should be shared. One person could be responsible for observing the relevant web sites on environmental reporting and for informing their colleagues of new developments, new rewards, results of ranking etc. Or one could decide to have at regular intervals, e.g. every eight weeks, an update on environmental reporting, corporate governance worldwide, matters of concern raised by pressure groups etc. In preparation of an annual meeting with a company the ethical analyst could ask each ‘specialist’ in a specific area if he has to raise an issue of environmental reporting for example. One possibility would be to include the companies to be visited in the agenda of the departmental meetings. Each ‘specialist’ will then chooses information from their area relevant for the company and hand it over to the analyst visiting the company. Other alternative approaches are possible.

Conclusion In 1984, when the first UK ethical trust was launched, informed City observers estimated the potential market for RSI in the UK at around £2 million. By the end of 2000 the ethical investment market accounted for about £3.7 billion (Shepherd 2001) – approximately 2000 times the original estimate – and the market is growing further due to the new regulations mentioned above. At the moment the impact of SRI cannot be predicted, but the volume of investment business that comes within the heading of SRI is significant in absolute terms, and there is no suggestion at the present time that SRI will diminish in significance. It is therefore the aim of this introduction to encourage fund managers to adopt ethical investment strategies and to use the responsible shareholding approach to shape companies and to raise awareness of ethical issues: May this book be a useful tool for all people involved in this challenging process!
