Domini Fund Ditches Wal-Mart Stock
The content that follows was originally published on the Institute for Local Self-Reliance website at http://www.ilsr.org/domini-fund-ditches-walmart-stock/In February, the Domini Social Equity Fund removed Wal-Mart from its portfolio. The decision to dump the Fund’s 1.2 million shares of Wal-Mart stock was prompted primarily by concerns about the company’s labor and human rights policies abroad.
