Responsible Investing is the practice of taking social and environmental concerns, not just monetary, into account when making investment decisions. Colleges and universities own stocks of companies - often millions, or even billions - in their endowments. As large institutional shareholders, universities have the power to use their investments to push for the progressive elimination of corporate practices that are detrimental to society and the environment. Voice your support for the alignment of values in investment practices by the University of California by signing the Petition. This petition will be presented to the UC Regents Committee on Investments at their next 2010 meeting. By getting the UC investment practices to change, a path may be paved for California State, California Community Colleges, and California Private Colleges to also invest responsibly. Regardless of your affiliation with the UCs, show your support because the future of institutional investing can by shaped by you!
