The Ethical Investment Association (EIA) is a membership organisation for professionals working in the area of Sustainable Responsible Investment (SRI) and Ethical Investment in Australia and New Zealand. The EIA also helps individuals and organisations to learn more about how they can become sustainable responsible investors.



The EIA was formed in 1999 to promote the concept and practice of SRI to an increasingly curious general public, to the mainstream investment community, to analysts, superannuation trustees, financial advisers, regulators, religious, charitable and other values-based organisations, government and non-government organisations and to the corporate sector.
