Dé definitie van duurzaam beleggen bestaat niet …
Een veel gebruikte definitie is afkomstig uit het Brundtland-rapport uit 1987: “een duurzame ontwikkeling voorziet in de behoeften van het heden, zonder de behoeften van de toekomstige generaties in gevaar te brengen.” In de beleggingspraktijk betekent dit dat wordt belegd in ondernemingen die “sociaal en milieuverantwoord” handelen. Dit zijn bedrijven die positief scoren op verschillende duurzaamheidscriteria, zoals mensenrechten, kinderarbeid, milieubeleid, bestrijdingsmiddelen, broeikasgassen of watervervuiling. Duurzaamheid is echter een rekbaar begrip. Want wat is ‘sociaal-ethisch’, wat is ‘milieuverantwoord’? Wat is precies ‘duurzaam’? Meningen over deze begrippen lopen per land, zelfs per individu uiteen. Bovendien verschuiven deze in de loop van de tijd.

There is no single definitive definition of sustainable investment…
A definition often used for this term comes from the 1987 Brundtland Report: “sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." In terms of investment practice this means that investments are made in enterprises that practice “social and environmental responsibility”. These are companies that score well according to various sustainability criteria, such as human rights, child labour, environmental policy, pesticides, greenhouse gases or water pollution. Sustainability, however, is a broad concept, because what is ‘social-ethical’, what is ‘environmentally responsible’? What exactly is ‘sustainable’? Opinions about these concepts vary widely in each country and even per person. In addition, these interpretations change in the course of time.
