SRI Conference producer and First Affirmative Financial Network President, Steve Schueth, said: “Our 2014 Advisor Survey showed that SRI/ESG has never been in such high demand with investors and investment professionals across a wide spectrum, including a larger percent of women advisors and institutional investors. US SIF’s 2014 ‘Trends Report’ on Sustainable, Responsible, Impact Investing in the U.S. showed that overall SRI assets under management have grown by 76 percent just over the past two years, from $3.74 trillion in 2012 to $6.57 trillion. There is growing interest, growing demand, and growing opportunity for investors to go All In For Impact.”
