As a company that is almost 200 years old, Schroders is one of the last remaining independent fund managers in the City. We have a global network and a total of UK£95bn under management. Our clients include local and public authorities, pension funds, charities, corporations, insurance companies, high net worth individuals and unit trust holders.

Schroders' primary investment objective is to achieve optimal financial returns for our clients (within agreed risk parameters and constraints). Providing that this objective is not compromised in the process, we do, however believe that it is also possible to develop a framework that, in the interests of our clients, allows a broader range of considerations, including environmental and social issues to be taken into account when selecting investments. Indeed the idea that quality companies, operating at an environmentally and socially sustainable level, are more likely to survive and deliver long-term shareholder value suggests that the analysis and understanding of non-financial criteria will offer additional assistance in identifying the long term winners.

As well as integrating social, ethical and environmental considerations into the investment process Schroders has adopted an engagement approach to SRI. In that we aim to encourage companies to move towards best environmental and social practice in order to minimise the non-financial risks our investments may be exposed to. Globally, we also manage UK£3.1bn under ethical mandates on behalf of our charity, private and religious clients.

A co-operative lending society that uses the pooled investments of its members in the UK to provide trade finance to fair trade co-operatives and businesses. Its mission is to provide financial services and business support to make livelihoods and living standards better for disadvantaged communities in some of the world's poorest countries. Shared Interest works with people who share its commitment to fair and just trade. Its financial services comprise a range of trade pre-finance and loans for buyers and producers in the fair trade supply chain.

Members invest in share accounts (minimum £100, maximum £20,000) and can earn a moderate rate of interest subject to the Society's rules if its financial results allow. To date, members have invested more than £21 million in share capital, enabling millions of pounds to be lent to customers as they trade their way out of poverty. Since the lending is re-paid, share capital can be used again and again to help reduce poverty. Shared Interest Foundation is the Society's international development charity. It was set up in 2004, primarily to provide business training and capacity development to producers to help them to succeed in the fair trade marketplace.

The Ethical Portfolio has been available to investors since 1992 and offers a socially responsible alternative for investors who do not want to make investment decisions regarding asset allocation and fund management. The aim of the Portfolio is to achieve a rate of growth that is higher than the average achieved by other, comparable, Ethical funds over rolling 12-month periods. It is a diversified fund in terms of both assets and risk. Our Ethical Portfolio is unique because it holds a mixture of direct equities (stocks and shares), unit trusts and cash. All holdings must get through the Fund's strict ethical screening criteria. The unit trust basket gives our Ethical Portfolio an extra edge. As well as considering any existing ethical investments, it can invest in new ethical funds coming onto the market, some which are not available within life and pension plans elsewhere - an important advantage considering the growth of this area. Lee Coates of the Ethical Investors Group sums it up - "Why buy one ethical fund when you can buy them all?" The Ethical Portfolio is best placed amongst Ethical Life and Pension funds to exploit the rapid increase in available funds.

The ethical options available to Skandia Group investors are not limited to the Ethical Portfolio, which is available through Skandia Life and Professional Life. We also offer the following:

• Aberdeen Ethical through Skandia MultiFUNDS
• Credit Suisse Fellowship through Skandia MultiFUNDS
• Framlington Health through Skandia Life and Skandia MultiFUNDS
• Henderson Ethical through Skandia MultiFUNDS
• Jupiter Ecology through Skandia MultiFUNDS and Royal Skandia

Standard Life has been looking after its customers for over 180 years, and currently over 7 million people rely on us for their financial needs.

The group currently offers three ways to invest ethically. The Pension Ethical Fund is available through a variety of pension products and the Life Ethical Fund enables our investment bond customers to invest ethically. In addition, Standard Life Investments offers a UK Ethical Fund as part of its wide range of mutual funds.

All three of these funds exclude investments on the basis of negative criteria as stated in the Ethical Policy. This policy was developed based on research carried out with a large sample of IFAs and investors. We conduct research with our investors annually to confirm that the criteria continue to reflect their concerns. We use research from an independent research company to determine which companies comply with the requirements of the Ethical Policy. An Ethical Committee, comprised of senior managers from Standard Life and investors in the ethical funds, ensures the integrity of the Ethical Policy and provides assurance to investors that the process supporting this policy are robust.
