A new economic report on sustainable investments revealed eyebrow-raising numbers this week, showing a surge of more than $2 trillion in the last two years in assets that meet environmental, social and corporate-governance goals. That raises the number to $8.72 trillion, indicating a growth of about a third since the start of 2016. And while sustainable investments continue to rise, stocks in weapons and firearms have shed major losses in that same time. In a world where money drives action, its relieving to see that more funds are going into the beneficial causes that need them.
