Etica SGR creates the first Italian SRI Funds with the Ethibel Label.
24/02/03
On 18 Febrary 2002, the Italian investment management company Etica SGR launched
the first Italian SRI funds, whose ethical quality is certified by the Ethibel
Label for SRI Funds. There are two balanced SRI funds and one fund invests exclusively
in government bonds screened by Ethibel. "We want to fill a gap in the
Italian SRI market, introducing high standards in the evaluation of companies,
but also in the responsibility of the fund management", says Luca Mattiazzi,
Etica's director.
Etica SGR was created two years ago in order to satisfy a growing demand for
financial products that invest in a socially responsible way. Its major shareholder
is Banca Etica, the first and only Italian financial institution established
in a social context and geared to the development of the social and non-profit
economy. Like Banca Etica, Etica's provision will be focused only on SRI products.
The company is planning to launch socially responsible closed-end and private
pension funds in the years to come.
On 27 February Etica sgr presents its 'Fondi Valori Responsabili' during
a press conference in Milan. For more information, go to www.eticasgr.it.

Ethibel asks the European Commission to include provisions related to CSR in
prospectus obligations.
12/02/03
Together with fifty signatories from all over Europe, Ethibel, which is known
for its European label for socially responsible investments (SRI), has submitted
a formal petition to the European Commission to include provisions related to
corporate social responsibility (CSR) in its new directives on prospectus obligations.
These provisions would oblige issuers who must publish a prospectus, to explain
in this document to what extent they take non-financial risks into account.
The incentive for this initiative was the request of the 'Committee of European
Securities Regulators' (CESR) to respond to the European proposal that will
result in the so-called 'Prospective Directive' by the end of 2003. With this
directive, which is aimed at imposing simpler and uniform prospectus obligations,
the European Commission hopes to develop a more efficient, competitive and integrated
financial market.
The fifty signatories are all organisations, businesses and professionals which
are active in the field of SRI and CSR. They support the need for simplification
but do not wish this to be at the expense of correct and complete information.
In their view, companies should be obliged to communicate with investors and
analysts about the relevant social, ecological and ethical risks and liabilities,
and the way in which these are dealt with by management.
This recommendation responds to an increasing demand for greater transparency
with regard to the non-financial risks of companies and the responsibility on
the part of the managers. The American Sarbanes-Oxley Act (2002) considers managers
to be responsible not only for financial, but also for other 'material' risks.
The American stock exchange authority SEC is demanding supplementary declarations
on this matter in the annual report. The British Turnbull Committee and the
Association of British Insurers have also draw up an inventory of so-called
'corporate responsibility'. France is working on directives to include information
on non-financial risks in the communication of companies with shareholders and
investors.
According to senior consultant Herwig Peeters of Ethibel: "If Europe wishes
to adopt a competitive position on the financial markets, it is not only a matter
of reducing the administrative work for entreprises, but also of giving international
investors as complete a picture as possible of what their investments represent,
both financially and socially."
You can download the text
of the amendment (MS Word document) and the list
of signatories (MS Exel document).

The Flemish Care Fund opts for sustainable investment in accordance with the
Ethibel criteria.
29/11/02
The Flemish Care Fund is the reserve fund which the Government of Flanders is
creating to cope with the increasing non-medical costs resulting from the ageing
population. The fund currently contains almost 400 million euro. By the end
of 2003, this will be approximately 430 million euro.
The Government of Flanders has now decided to invest this government money in
a safe and sustainable way. In the first instance, the Care Fund will invest
90% in bonds and 10% in shares. It will exclusively use the Ethibel Investment
Register, both for company bonds and for shares. The proportion in shares will
be given the Ethibel Label.
Kurt Jacobs, Ethibel's Marketing and Sales Manager, indicated: "With this
decision, the Flemish Care Fund is the first large institutional investor in
Belgium to take the step to sustainable investment. This decision was reached,
following lengthy discussions with various financial advisors. The hope is that
this step could be an incentive for other institutional investors to adopt more
social and ethical criteria for the selection of their investments."
To the extent that the Ethibel universe is expanding, the contributions for
2003 and 2004 can also be invested in accordance with the Ethibel criteria for
sustainable investment.

Ethibel launches the "Ethibel Sustainability Index": a sustainable
benchmark with a financial and a social return.
27/06/02
The Ethibel Sustainability Index (ESI) enables investors to see at a glance
how a carefully screened group of companies that set the tone in terms of corporate
social responsibility, is performing financially. With this service Ethibel
answers a growing demand from institutional investors, fund and asset managers,
who are anxious to combine a sound financial return with a positive impact on
society.
For its technical support, Ethibel can count on the skills of the American index
provider Standard & Poor's, an acknowledged financial analysis and
information expert.
Investing with the ESI is synonymous with investing in corporate social responsibility.
The Ethibel research and assessment model forms the basis of this index. This
model is a result of Ethibel's SRI research experience built up over several
years. The ESI is the very first sustainability index to be designed according
to fourth generation research principles. It relies on the same strict
social and ethical quality standards that are applied to retail investment funds
carrying the Ethibel quality label.
Of key importance in the Ethibel fourth generation methodology is the 'triple
bottom line' or the 'People-Planet-Profit' approach. Companies are screened
on all areas of corporate social responsibility: internal and external social
policy, environmental policy and ethical economic policy. All of these items
carry the same weight in the final assessment. Companies are assessed in relation
to their sectoral or regional competitors.
Furthermore, the investigation is based on active communication with all
the company's stakeholders, including the company itself. "We apply
this policy to the letter", says Dirk Van Braeckel, Head of Research. "Any
information we receive from a company is checked with independent parties, such
as trade unions and environmental organisations. We prefer to interview them
on the telephone in order to obtain reliable information as directly as possible".
A sustainable distribution.
"A sustainable index's distribution is quite unlike that of a standard
market index", says Kurt Jacobs, Marketing & Sales Manager. "This
is because some aspects of sustainability carry more weight in one industry
than another. New economy businesses, such as IT companies, make much less of
an environmental impact than heavy industry businesses who are often burdened
by an environmentally shady past. A company's cultural context may also affect
the way it expresses its social responsibility."
Ethibel primarily selects companies who lead the field in their sector and region
in all areas of sustainability. However, it is the idea that in the near future
the sector and regional allocation of the ESI will approximate more closely
the sector weights of a reference index such as the S&P Global 1200. Therefore,
Ethibel has been screening and selecting companies in "sustainably sensitive"
sectors for many years now. Consequently, these companies are also encouraged
to press on with their action to boost their environmental and social performances.
The "Ethibel Sustainability Index", a solid return.
According to calculations by Standard & Poor's the "Ethibel Sustainability
Index" has performed quite well over the last four years. During this period
the ESI Global return outperformed that of the S&P Global 1200, both in
a buoyant and a depressed market.
Obviously, these retrospective figures hold no guarantee for the future performance
of the Ethibel Sustainability Index. But the results so far are very encouraging.
Moreover, Ethibel's investment universe is constantly being expanded to further
improve the distribution of companies featured in the index across sectors and
regions. This is a precondition for a wider and thus more balanced spreading
of risks. Consequently, investors can count on a solid financial and socially
responsible return.

2001 Annual Report of Ethibel & STOCK at STAKE: Ethibel became a 'group'.
03/06/02
The introduction to the 2001 annual report of the not-for-profit organisation
Ethibel and its subsidiary, the limited company, Stock at Stake states: "Ethical
investment is sustainable investment." Our short review of the ten years
of Ethibel's existence shows that ethical investment has gained firm ground
in the Belgian investment market.
Download
the complete report (1.3 MB).
Furthermore, the figures show that investors in sustainable funds trust the
Ethibel quality label for sustainable investments. More than 60% of the sustainable
funds on the Belgian market carry the Ethibel label and/or base their selection
of shares on the Ethibel investment register. Of all the capital invested in
mid-2001 in Belgian social and ethical funds, a volume of almost 1.25 billion
EUR, 88% went to portfolios which made their selections in accordance with the
Ethibel philosophy of sustainability. In other words, almost nine out of
ten Belgians who opted for sustainable investment in 2001 chose for Ethibel.
Ethibel responded to an increasing interest in sustainable investment with a
diversification and expansion of its activities. Ethibel became a "group"
with the establishment of the autonomous limited company, Stock at Stake, which
took over all Ethibel's research activities from January 2001.
For 2001 the Ethibel Group can reveal a number of important achievements:
* A significant increase in the investment register: e.g., with the addition
of companies in the Pacific and by spreading the register across the most important
sectors of industry.
* Continued improvements of its research methodology, e.g., improving
the procedures for examining the involvement of companies in "practices
which are the subject of social debate".
* The continued diversification of its products, with, in addition to
the Ethibel label:
- a range of government bonds based on studies of countries;
- sectoral analyses, some of which are also available as separate publications
(e.g., the sectoral analysis of the European car industry);;
- the products of international partners, such as the EPM of the British
Eiris and the SiRi-500 databank.
* - A solid basis in the international world of sustainable investment, with
membership of SiRi, an
international coalition of the main screening bureaus for sustainable investments
and of ASrIA, a new South-East
Asian forum of which both Ethibel and Stock at Stake are founding members.
What about the future? It starts today. Our plans for 2002 are in full
swing...
The development of strong European support for the Ethibel label for
sustainable investments is an absolute priority.
At the same time we are tackling one of the greatest challenges for 2002-2003:
to convince institutional investors of the social importance of a high
quality standard with regard to establishing social and ethical criteria.

Ethibel starts close cooperation with leading Japanese SRI advisory agency.
21/05/02
Ethibel, together with its sister company Stock at Stake, has launched a
close cooperation with Good Bankers, a leading Japanese SRI advisory agency.
The cooperation includes joint research activities and the joint production
of company profiles based on CSR criteria that answer the needs of potential
clients in both Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. To realise this cooperation,
several analyst exchanges are planned. This month Ethibel already welcomed a
member of the Good Bankers research team in its offices in Brussels.
Stock at Stake has been screening Japanese companies for two years, both for
the Ethibel investment register and for the SiRi
Group, an international coalition of SRI research companies. Good Bankers
Co. has already cooperated in these activities on an ad-hoc basis in the past.
The objective of a closer cooperation is to capitalise on the valuable exchanges
of the Ethibel Group with Good Bankers of the past two years. Stock at Stake
believes that this cooperation will create an additional value to its best-of-class
CSR selection and research, and facilitate marketing Asia-Pacific CSR company
profiles in Europe and Asia.
Good Bankers Cois a pioneer in SRI screening in Japan. The company provides
environmental screening to the first eco-funds in JapanThe company started social
screening last year and aims to expand its research into other CSR areas, to
cover a wide range of demands based on a growing concern for SRI and CSR in
Japan. The interest of Japanese companies and investors to invest in foreign
equities and bonds is also growing.
Ms. Mizue Tsukushi, the founding President of the Good Bankers, has a large
contact network in government as well as the corporate and academic sectorShe
is active in ASrIA, an Asian
SRI forum established in Hong Kong, of which Ethibel and Stock at Stake are
also founding members.

MISTRA identifies Ethibel as "best practice".
15/01/02
The Swedish Foundation MISTRA selected Ethibel
as exemple of 'best practice' in Europe for SRI research and services.
MISTRA is a Swedish Foundation for strategic environmental research of the highest
international class and contributing to finding solutions to key environmental
problems.
MISTRA disburses some SEK 250 million per year, financing 24 major research
programmes, each of them running for 6 to 8 years. Those funds are raised by
the return on capital of a portfolio of some 4,7 billion SEK, managed by MISTRA.
MISTRA strives to design the asset management to be consistent with MISTRA's
mandate to contribute to sustainable development and has decided to initiate
positive selection of equities with a start in the USA and Europe.
MISTRA engaged Miljoëko AB and SustainAbility (UK) to perform
an assessment of existing SRI-products and services. The assessment was based
on a survey of 142 SRI products from 77 fund managers and a total of 24 screening
organisations. After the assessment 5 organisations are highlighted as the final
best-practices examples. 3 of those are in-house research teams: 1 US team (Trillium
Asset Management), 1 UK team (Henderson) and 1 Norway team (Storebrand
Asset Management). Only 2 independent organisations have been selected:
again 1 US team (Innovest) and finally Ethibel for Europe (and Cordius
Asset Management, based on several years of experience and its cooperation
with Ethibel).
The following key characteristics have been identified as being best-practice:
(1) Triple bottom line approach (sustainable development and the evaluation
of social, environmental and economic performance)
(2) Focus on best-in-class and pioneers/innovators
(3) Evaluating sustainability opportunities and sustainability risks
(4) 'Intelligent' screening model (combination of qualitative and quantitative
analysis)
(5) Qualified research team
(6) Openness/transparency.

website or you can download Screening
of Screening Companies here as pdf-file.

"Freedom & Solidarity": an investment fund to promote human rights.
10/12/01
On 10th December, the French Postal Service,
mutual insurer MACIF and the 'Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations'
launched a new ethical and solidarity-based investment fund that will support
the International Federation of Human Rights' Leagues (IFHR). It is available
to the general public at every post office in France.
The three institutions have raised approximately 9 million EUR to start up the
fund. The fund will invest 80% in bonds and 20% in equities of European, American
or Pacific-based companies. These companies must meet a series of criteria laid
down by the FIDH. STOCK at STAKE has been charged with the social-ethical screening
and evaluation of the companies selected for this fund.
Sogeposte, the fund manager, has been instructed to invest in states with a
positive record when it comes to the respect of human rights (*), as well as
in socially responsible companies. Some of these companies have drawn up a specific
policy and control system to safeguard the respect of human rights.
The selection criteria are quite strict. The first filter consists of a series
of exclusion criteria. These include: being involved in arms production and
trading, developing commercial interests in Burma or being involved in activities
which have, in a direct or indirect way, a negative impact on the human rights
of local populations. A second set of selection criteria refers to the general
strategy of companies for the respect of social and human rights, both inside
and outside the company, in the industrialised world as well as in developing
countries.
Half of the profits of "Freedoms & Solidarity" will be paid each
year to the International Federation of Human Rights' Leagues (IFHR) while the
rest is left to accumulate for the investor's benefit.

'Benchmarking Sustainability in the European Car Industry 2001-2002', a comparative
study of sustainability of the seven largest European car manufacturers.
29/11/01
BMW, DaimlerChrysler, Fiat, Porsche, PSA Peugeot-Citroën,
Renault and Volkswagen examined by STOCK at STAKE and evaluated by Ethibel in
terms of their corporate social responsibility.
The study, 'Benchmarking Sustainability in the European Car Industry 2001-2002'
provides an original combination of analysis and evaluation and is a step forward
in the screening, assessment and reporting of sustainable and socially responsible
enterprise at the sectoral level, on the basis of a comparison of the seven
largest manufacturers in the European car industry.
The concept is unique in several respects:
- For the first time, a single study has been carried out, publishing comparative
research which examines the impact of each of the seven manufacturers in all
the fields of sustainable enterprise. The study covers both the internal social
policy and the environmental policy, the external social policy and the ethical
aspects of the economic policy. For each company the study contains a detailed
report based on information from the company, supplemented with independent
source material and a strong input from the various stakeholders, including
trade unions and environmental organisations.
- For companies who wish to move towards a more sustainable enterprise themselves,
the study also contains a detailed description of the various aspects of sustainable
enterprise. In this way the book can serve as a framework for their own actions.
- Because of this unique approach, this sectoral study not only serves as a
full risk & opportunity analysis as the basis for sustainable investing,
but also holds the keys for the continued development of sustainable enterprise.
In this way, this study is a step forward in the analysis, assessment and reporting
of sustainable and socially responsible enterprise.
- 'Benchmarking Sustainability in the European Car Industry 2001-2002' is extremely
useful for anyone involved in sustainable enterprise, both inside and outside
the car industry, the financial institutions, governments, professional associations,
trade unions, consumer organisations and other NGOs.
The study is now for sale at 1250 Euro (for profit-making organisations)
and 6000 Euro (for non-profit-making organisations).
For further information, you can mail 
or telephone Ethibel at (02) 206 11 11.
Or you can download the flyer as pdf-file

Ethibel selects four new Belgian businesses with strong sustainable entrepreneurship
records: BarcoNet, Recticel, Van de Velde and Ubizen are added to the socially
responsible investment register.
28/06/01
Ethibel's investment register: a basis for good-quality
"sustainable" investments.
As far as Ethibel is concerned, ethical investments are synonymous with investing
in companies who take their social responsibilities seriously. A good quality
"ethical" investment is therefore a "sustainable" investment,
an investment in companies that consistently strive to promote sustainable entrepreneurship
in all areas of their operations. The Ethibel quality label for sustainable
investment funds offers a guarantee that these funds are invested solely in
businesses whose sustainable entrepreneurship has been carefully screened by
Ethibel in the light of various policy areas (internal, external, environmental,
economic, for example). Only companies that manage to achieve a good score in
all these areas, in comparison with their sector partners, may be included in
the investment register.
The outcome is an investment universe of 200 or so companies from all industrial
sectors and the world's main industrial regions (Europe, North America, Pacific).
The investment register is constantly changing. Ethibel continues to look for
companies showing a strong sustainability track record. This also applies to
so-called "difficult" sectors and regions. In its effort to achieve
a balanced distribution, Ethibel has primarily sought in recent years to focus
on the search for companies in the Pacific region. However, the search for local
companies continues to be a key theme.
BarcoNet, Recticel, Van de Velde and Ubizen
On the basis of a detailed investigation (with the focus being on active communication
with stakeholders, the company's "social shareholders") and subsequent
to a positive advice from the independent experts in the Register Committee,
Ethibel's Board of Directors decided to add a further four Belgian companies
to the register to bring the number of Belgian businesses featured there to
a total of 17. The company databank
on this website offers you an overview of all Belgian companies and an abstract
of the detailed investigation reports. These short profiles give an idea of
the strengths of these companies in all areas of sustainable entrepreneurship.
From these on line documents we quote:
Specialising in broadband networks and broadcasting equipment, BarcoNet
invests heavily in training and education. The strong social policy is significant
for its open and objective evaluation of employee performance. BarcoNet boasts
highly transparent operational procedures and applies stringent quality controls.
Recticel, Europe's largest producer of polyurethane foam, mattresses
and slatted bed bases, has a well formalised and structured social policy, and
scores very well for its internal and external systems of communication. The
company is well reputed for its efforts to innovate in the context of a time-honoured
industry. Recticel is aware of the environmental impact of its main product,
polyurethane, but has done its utmost to limit the environmental impact by seeking
alternative manufacturing procedures and developing recycling techniques.
A specialist in e-security activities Ubizen promotes an open-minded,
democratic business culture. The staff turnover is low. The business pays great
heed to internal auditing procedures and its economic policy reflects a long-term
approach rather than relying on short-term money-spinning projects.
The textile manufacturer Van de Velde, is a Belgian market leader in
luxury ladies' underwear and seeks to maintain jobs in the home country as much
as possible. However, it insists that plant and subcontractors in low-wage countries
should observer a strong social policy. At the Belgian sites, an open-minded
business culture is deployed to provide incentives for co-operation amongst
employees at different levels.
From now on these four companies will be featured in the investment portfolios
of funds carrying the Ethibel label for sustainable investment funds and being
carefully monitored by Ethibel.

The King Baudouin Foundation contracts Ethibel for the assesment of potential
partner companies.
21/05/01
The King Baudouin Foundation wishes to bring together various actors
from society, promote mutual dialogue between them and create new dynamics and
concrete actions. It sees business as one of those core social players and as
an important motor within society. The Foundation will stimulate all forms of
dialogue conducted out of well-understood self-interest by business with its
stakeholders, aimed at clarifying mutual rights and obligations and heightening
social awareness of them. It will encourage business to generate social as well
as financial surpluses; it also wishes to stimulate generosity on the part of
the business world.
From this positive view of corporate enterprise, the Foundation will research
the appropriateness of each partnership with great care and as objectively as
possible. It wishes to act transparently at all times by providing full public
information on its reasons for cooperating with a business eager to be of service
to the community. Special attention will be given to assessing whether there
is a complete compatibility of the reputation and nature of the partner company's
activities with the subject and aims of the corporate fund or project in question.
The Foundation will contract an external, independent consultant specialised
in such matters, namely Ethibel, to provide the necessary assessment data, thus
avoiding that one and the same party conduct both the assessment and investigation,
on the one hand, and the evaluation and decision-making procedure, on the other.
Ethibel, or the company STOCK AT STAKE operating alongside Ethibel, will provide
the Foundation with reports providing an overview of the values, codes of conduct
and business strategies in four main areas: business ethics, internal social
policy, environmental policy, human rights and external social policy. The decision
whether or not a collaboration with a certain company is appropriate, remains
entrirely the right and the repsonsibility of the King Baudouin Foundation.
The Foundation's policy paper on partnerships with corporations is a public
document and can be ontained at the King Baudouin Foundation, Rue Brąderode
21, B-Brussels, Tel.: +32(0)2/511.18.40, Fax: +32(0)2/511.52.21, email: infonet@kbs-frb.be.

Vandenbroucke stimulates socially responsible investing.
14/02/01
In the near future pension fund managers will have to stipulate in their annual
reports whether or not they take ethical, social and/or environmental criteria
into account for the selection of their investments. These annual reports are
public documents. Any participants in these funds, including employers, trade
unions or individual employees, are entitled to have a copy of it and check
the contents.
The Belgian Minister for Social Affairs and Pensions Frank Vandenbroucke hopes
that this intervention will further stimulate socially responsible investing
and sustainable entrepreneurship in Belgium. Pension Funds make up an increasingly
important part of the institutional investors in Belgium. If they are morally
driven by their investors and/or members of the board to actively seek companies
which are screend on both financial and social-ethical criteria, this could
canalyse a process of more active dialogue between companies and investors,
which would subsequently result in a more sustainable entrepreneurship.
For more information on this topic (in Dutch or French), go to de Minister’s
website.
