It offers a conceptual foundation for investment policy and research, and reviews empirical studies supporting new directions in investment policies. It also provides guidelines for trustees, based on the best available knowledge of corporate behaviour, and presents researchers with key hypotheses to follow in gathering data for the evaluation of social investment norms. A unique study, it provides the basis for defining social investment as a field of knowledge.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Part I.
