Values are not investments. You cannot purchase shares of progressive values, there is no market exchange for values. How would one determine the price of a value?

But I know what you mean, I think. Are there investment companies that invest in companies who share progressive ideals, or at the least don't go out of their way to violate them? Yes, Calvert is probably the most well-known. Make sure you look at the long term track records for the funds. Socially responsible doesn't always mean "financially remunerative."
