Our positive screening process
Positive screening helps to identify the businesses of the future that offer good quality, long-term ethical investment opportunities. Experience has shown us that it also helps us avoid businesses that are likely to encounter problems from practices that are not sustainable in today’s world.
Profit with principles
Over the past two decades, our focus has been to refine our unique approach to socially responsible investing. Profit with principles remains the goal of our Socially Responsible Investment Team, which engages with companies actively prior to making a decision.
Making informed decisions prior to investment is crucial to maintaining our position as focused socially responsible investment managers and providing the kind of service we believe that ethical investors are looking for. We believe the success of our award-winning socially responsible screened Amity Fund range is proof that this approach works.
At Ecclesiastical, we are one of the few ethical investment managers who look beyond negative screening alone. Essentially, we seek out and say ‘yes’ to companies whose products and practices are helping to build a safer, cleaner, better world. There are nine positive attributes that we look for to identify companies who make a positive input to their environment – both environmentally and socially.
