George Lekatis, President of the Association, said: “The Corporate Sustainability Committee is responsible for advising the Board of Directors and executive management on corporate sustainability policies that cover environmental, social and ethical issues.

The ultimate objectives of this committee are:

1. To help the organization work in a more ethical and responsible manner, respecting the environmental, social and ethical needs of the society

2. To add value to the organization and to attract Socially Responsible Investors (SRIs)
The economic benefits of sustainable management can be very important. Socially responsible investors put their money to work to build a more sustainable world, while earning competitive returns both today and over time.

Corporations, universities, hospitals, foundations, insurance companies, public and private pension funds, nonprofit organizations, religious institutions and more and more individuals every year, want to invest their money using investment strategies that maximize both financial return and social good.

Socially responsible investors consider both:
1. Their financial needs
2. Their investment’s impact on society

The global ecology and conservation movements exercise significant influence on more people every year. People make more and more decisions based on their belief that organizations much behave responsibly.

Environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) management affects the performance of investment portfolios. Organizations can have an important competitive advantage and financial benefits, as the result of meeting the demands of the marketplace and the society.”
