When I began my business 30 years ago, very few investment funds were describing themselves as ethical investors.

Some years later I joined an organisation of CEOs, business owners and senior executives that meets to share and discuss their challenges. I enjoyed our meetings right up until my group was required to listen to a speaker on ethics. When I asked for a definition of ethics and who decides what is ethical, I was told I was out of order. Not long after that I was asked to leave the group.
