    Socially responsible investments are about using your money to build a more economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable world.

    All of Kindred’s GICs are socially responsible! We screen businesses to ensure we aren’t lending to those with a record of unethical or illegal practices, or that operate in ways that negatively impact the environment or human rights.
