The Social Investment Organization has released a few early details of its biennial conference, to be held in Winnipeg from June 7-9. This year’s theme will be “sustainable investing in unprecedented times.”
“With the headlines full of economic uncertainty, this conference will explore how socially responsible investment is responding to current market volatility.” The SIO said in an e-mail to members. “Sessions on climate change, green investing, community investing, aboriginal issues, retail markets and institutional investment will provide insight and hope for how SRI can point a way forward through the current market turmoil.”
