In a just-released book on socially responsible investment, Global Profit and Global Justice: Using Your Money to Change the World, Real Assets CEO and Portfolio Manager Deb Abbey offers a critique of globalization and advice to investors concerned about the social and environmental role of global corporations. "When we put our money to work -- as investors, as consumers, as workers, as communities, and as philanthropists -- we must ensure that our return is in social as well as financial capital," writes Abbey, in the first chapter. "We must make global profit in the context of global justice a reality." The book reviews the full battery of socially responsible investment and consumer tools, including:
"This informative and comprehensive introduction to investing for positive social change is a marvelous resource for all, whether a new investor or a seasoned one," says Amy Domini, Founder of the US-based Domini Social Investments, in advance praise about the book. Margot Franssen, President, The Body Shop Canada, says the book's "reasonable and balanced approach was refreshing and the information that was contained within the pages truly rewarding." Deb Abbey is the founder of Real Assets, the first investment management firm in Canada to focus exclusively on Social Investment. She manages portfolios for individuals and institutions across Canada. The book is available at bookstores across Canada. It is also available through the internet at Libra Information Services.
