Honolulu, HI: Legislative Reference Bureau, December 2001. 1. Investments - Moral and ethical aspects - United States - States - Hawaii. 2. Social responsibility of business - United States - States - Hawaii. KFH421.5.L35 A25 01-6 FOREWORD This study was undertaken in response to Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 13, S.D. 2, adopted during the Regular Session of 2001. The Resolution resolved that the Legislature "encourages the Chief Investment Officer, administrator, and trustees of the State Employees' Retirement System to apply the principles of SRI [socially responsible investing] in their investment practices and decisions, and encourages other investment counselors and money managers to also apply SRI to their investment portfolios." Apart from its endorsement of "the principles of SRI," the Legislature separately requested the Bureau to "conduct research on SRI by examining the laws and practices in other states, and current reports and studies in the field." This study responds to the Legislature's request of the Bureau to shed light on "the principles of SRI," particularly in light of public policy. Ms. Jean Mardfin was responsible for Chapter 3 dealing with the issue of fiduciary standards. Wendell K. Kimura Acting Director December, 2001 iii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY "Socially responsible investing" (SRI) is a method of investing that is best known for screening stocks for their social or environmental characteristics, as opposed to their financial performance.

  • STATE TEACHERS' RETIREMENT SYSTEM BILL ANALYSIS Senate
    STATE TEACHERS’ RETIREMENT SYSTEM BILL ANALYSIS Senate Bill 105, Senator Burton (As Amended 5/10/99) Position: Support Proponents: CalSTRS, California Democratic Party, CFT, CRTA, CSEA, CTA, Irish American Caucus Opponents: The British Government (as of 4/20/99 version) SUMMARY SB 105 requires the Teachers' Retirement Board (CalSTRS) and the Board of Administration of the Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) to annually investigate the extent to which United States and international corporations operating in Northern Ireland, and in which CalSTRS and CalPERS assets are invested, adhere in compliance with the law applicable in Northern Ireland to the principles of nondiscrimination in employment and freedom of workplace opportunity. The bill requires CalSTRS and CalPERS to compile a list of corporations operating in Northern Ireland and provide information on the corporations' efforts to achieve specific goals concerning equal opportunity for employees. Finally, the bill requires those retirement boards, whenever feasible, to support shareholder resolutions designed to encourage corporations in which it has invested to pursue a policy of affirmative action in Northern Ireland. HISTORY AB 2443 (Burton, 1989) - vetoed SB 105 is nearly identical to AB 2443 (Burton, 1989). The Board adopted an Oppose Unless Amended position on the earlier bill because the necessary information to comply with the bill was not available at that time. ACR 138 (Resolution Chapter 83, 1990) This resolution reaffirmed the Legislature's support of the MacBride Principles and directed the Office of Auditor General to determine the extent to which U.S. firms in which state retirement system funds are invested and which have business operations in Northern Ireland are adhering to specified goals encompassed in the MacBride Principles.
