So you’ve heard of socially responsible investing, but do you really know what it means or how companies earn the label of “responsible”?

- How companies use socially responsible investing in their marketing and PR
- What people inside the industry are really saying about ESG funds (hint: it’s not pretty)
- What it actually means to be a socially responsible investor and have a real impact on the causes you care about most
