Socially Responsible Investing
At Hansen’s Advisory Services, we help clients align their investments with personal values—supporting sustainability, equity, and social responsibility.
What Is SRI?
Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) integrates ethical priorities into portfolio design. Whether focused on climate, labor rights, or governance, we tailor strategies to reflect what matters to you.ESG Criteria
We use Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors to evaluate companies.- Environmental: Emissions, water use, energy, and sourcing
- Social: Employee treatment, safety, and corporate culture
- Governance: Executive compensation and board diversity
Performance
SRI portfolios have historically shown strong performance by minimizing exposure to unsustainable practices and investing in companies with sound ESG fundamentals. Indexes like the MSCI KLD 400 track these values-driven leaders.Shareholder Advocacy
Investing through socially responsible managers enables you to influence corporate behavior—through proxy voting, shareholder resolutions, and direct engagement on issues like climate change, racial equity, and human rights.![](mediahandler/dynamicmedia/720660/GASeal-Gold.jpg?width=526&height=654&focalpoint=
