THE ASSOCIATION
CRIC is a non-profit association for the promotion of ethical and sustainable investment and sees itself as both an information platform and a centre of competence. The aim of CRIC’s activities is to encourage business and the economy to give greater weight to environmental, social and cultural considerations.
To promote ethical/sustainable investment, CRIC engages in dialogue with representatives from the economy, politics and society. The association sees itself as a mouthpiece for the idea of ethical and sustainable investment and actively interfaces with the various stakeholder groups.
CRIC is the largest investor community for the promotion of ethical and sustainable investment in the German-speaking countries.
CRIC was founded in 2000 as a follow-up initiative to the Frankfurt-Hohenheim Guidelines, has more than 100 members, predominantly in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and is based in Frankfurt-on-Main.
In addition, a postcard summarizes the key points briefly and concisely.
AREAS OF FOCUS
Providing information and educating people about ethical and sustainable investment: More and more people are interested in investments that factor in social, environmental and cultural criteria. By providing information and education, CRIC aims to play a part in increasing awareness and competence among investors and of financial service providers alike.
Promoting a fair and future-proof market economy: Companies find themselves facing major challenges, as sustainable development calls for new ways of doing business. As part of its engagement activities, CRIC is involved in constructive dialogue with companies to address these challenges.
Research on ethical and sustainable investment issues: Many issues surrounding ethical and sustainable investment require more in-depth analysis. The scientific working group CRICTANK is dedicated to examining issues of investment ethics.
