THE ETHICAL FUNDS COMPANY®

We're proud to be the partner company of The Ethical Funds Company, the proprietary fund family of the Canadian credit union system. The Ethical Funds Company was founded by the Canadian credit union system and is the first socially responsible mutual fund company in Canada.

By owning Ethical Funds®, investors can hold professionally managed investments that reflect their core values, such as respect for the environment and fair treatment of employees.

Credit unions and their members are naturally inclined to support initiatives that improve the social conditions of their communities. Socially responsible investment solutions, like Ethical Funds, are an effective way to extend this philosophy out to the broader market. Make money. Make a difference.

 
How companies are evaluated
At its core, socially responsible investing (SRI) is about social justice, fairness, and sustainability of resources today and for future generations.

The Ethical Funds Company carefully selects and monitors all investments in its Funds to ensure rigorous financial, social, and environmental criteria meet these SRI objectives.

In addition, The Ethical Fund Company's Shareholder Action Program uses the combined power of unitholders to help raise the bar for the social and environmental performance of the corporations in which it holds shares. Active engagement strategies include dialogue with company management, proxy voting, and filing shareholder resolutions.

By investing in Ethical Funds, you're making a sound investment in everyone's future.
