'Buy and read this book. Without it, you are playing yesterday's game.' Robert A. G. Monks 'Sustainable Investing is a good read for managing your portfolio.' Nature 'A sophisticated overview of many of the most important issues in sustainable investing. It should be required reading for anyone with a serious interest in the great work of marrying ecology and economy in the service of life.' Environmental Grantmakers Association Journal 'There is no recognised discipline called �sustainable investing�. Rather, there are swathes of new emerging asset classes from water to carbon that can no longer be ignored. The strength of this book is that it brings specialist voices to bear on all of those emerging niches, from private equity to carbon trading.' CNBC European Business 'Offers answers to questions the whole world is asking.' Alan Petrillo, The KLD Blog 'Krosinsky and Robins have collected essays by some of the brightest minds of the sustainable investing movement.'

John Elkington, co-founder of ENDS, SustainAbility and Volans, and co-author of The Power of Unreasonable People 'A significant contribution to a rapidly growing field ... This is a must-read book for practitioners and investment analysts alike.' Gordon L. Clark, Oxford University 'This book richly deserves to be read by everyone in the investment community - and many beyond.' Rob Lake, APG Investments, The Netherlands 'This book is a good resource for a fairly broad audience � from investment analysts to CEOs to concerned citizens wanting to understand how investment incentives can be used to impact positive change.' World Future Review 'Accessible to all redaers, Sustainable Investing provides a good overview of the topic, along with investing strategies and opportunities.' E.C. Erickson, California State University, Stanislaus, USA 'Someone interested in valuable information and ideas at the current frontiers of Sustainable Investing may well find many interesting chapters in this book.'

This review is from: Sustainable Investing: The Art of Long Term Performance (Hardcover)
"Sustainable Investing" - "Sustainable and Responsible Investing" SRI) - "ESG Investing" -- no matter the title of the approach, this book will help you learn what you need to know to chart your course in the search for (yes, long-term) sustainable investments. There are 20+ experts contributing solid material to this book, edited by Cary Krosinsky and Nick Robins, two solid hands in SR investing. These include Steve Viederman, a long-time SRI portfolio manager and Steven Lydenberg, who at KLD helped to pioneer the style. You will learn what you need to know about the style, or discipline or approach (whatever you deem it to be, so much of this is still new to mainstream investors) to Sustainable and Responsible Investing (my choice for best description of the approach). As of year end 2009 there were $3.1 trillion invested through the SRI approach -- that's more than hedge funds manage. Is this an approach for you? The book will help you decide -- and chart your own course.
