What is the place for a socially responsible investment as part of a 21st Century Portfolio?

The aim of socially responsible investment (SRI) is to positively impact people, life and the planet whilst generating a financial return.

The market for SRI has grown tremendously over the past few years and estimates suggest that the global market is worth €60bn.

The Fry Group will be joined by  Rosl Veltmeijer, Head of Research at Triodos Investment Management who will explain how Triodos screens companies for inclusion within the Triodos investment universe, using a number of sustainability criteria while entering into an active dialogue and engagement with these companies.

A mixed day for the men's teams ,

1sts were up against old rivals Jefke and went behind after 15 minutes following a slick move whch gave Darragh no chance. We equalised through Mika scoring his 4th goal in the last 2 games. We got on top and looked as if we could take all 3 points but it was not to be as they were awarded a dodgy looking penalty to take the spoils 2-1

2nds won 3-1 to stay top but with rivals New Inn also winning there is just 1 point separating them as they go for the top spot. Nick, Matthias and Pablo were the scorers . We actually finished with only 9 as Hadrien received a nasty looking knee injury and Hans got 2 yellows.

3rds got a gteat victory beating Voirie 1-0. Very dirty match. A lot of errors on a slippery pitch but we managed to take the 3 points. Goal came from Stefan with a free kick from about 40 metres.

4ths also won with a 3-0 victory against ITT Gecko.

Vets 1 were up against one of the best teams in the Division when they faced Jefke. Shorn of a few regulars it was always goig to be tough and so it proved. Jefke raced into a 4 0 lead and things were looking ominous , Carlos managed to pull one back from a fine pass from JohnO but that was only a brief respite as Jefke went on to score 5 more and hand us a 9-1 battering. News after the game wasn't good either when Brussels British Vets managed to get a point from Metrasport and push us back into the relegation zone. Next week's game against them at Nossegem will definitely be LE CRUNCH in deciding who will stay in the division.

Vets 2 were involved in a bizarre match against Ecussons. With only the bare 11 and missing 2 or 3 regulars we started brightly and it was fairly even until a stray shot hit Alan Nortin's head and ended up in the net.putting us 1 0 down. Not long afterwards a through ball was not cleared and Ken ended up bringing down their forward and a penalty was awarded and scored which then put us 2 0 down. At half time we felt that we were still in it and so it proved when just a few minutes into the 2nd half Oscar was brought down and Luuk scored from the spot. Our tails were up and a great shot from Olivier brough the scores level. We were looking good to maybe get something from the game but another freakish goal put us 3-2 behind. A shot was deflected off Terry into the corner. We didn't give up but as the final whistle approached a defensive errror  made it 4 -2 to them and the game was over.

Ladies 1 (5th in the ranking) won against Jodoigne (3rd in the ranking) away 1-2 (0-1). Goals by Virg and Paola. Such a great game! One of the best games so far, great team work and combinations on the pitch. We celebrated like we won the league - such a great spirit after the game! Great weekend after last weeks defeat.

Ladies 2 play on Sunday morning

Football was back for the first time in the New Year after the last 3 weeks were called off. 1sts were playing Green Devils who were close to the bottom but who had beaten us in the 1st encounter at their place. We started great and Mika scored a delightful free kick to put us 1 0 up. We were pegged back though when they equalised through a header put away in the far corner. We were playing pretty well but the game was fairly even for the rest of the first half. In the 2nd half Mika added a second and we turned on the gas with 2 more goals from Ross and Mika again with a sweet finish to claim his hattrick Our fitness told as we dominated the rest of the game. Final score 4 1. MOM MIka (Who else)

2nds were playing Realistes Mexico  who although down at the bottom are a decent side and so it proved as the 1st half was an exciting affair with 4 goals shared to make it 2-2 at the break. In the 2nd half we kept plugging away and were rewarded with 2 more goals to run out 4-2 winners.We stay top of the table in the dogfight with New Iinn to get that top spot and promotion to Div 2.

3rds got a nice victory by 3-1. Goals from Youssef (2) and Rodrigo , It was a great comeback after going behind . Strong spirit . Midfield were outstanding in winning nearly every ball.

4ths were verymuch second best as they lost by 4 0.

Vets 1 ,strengthened by the inclusion of 1st team keeper Darragh, got a vital point in their match against LTC. We went behind early on but Manuel got us back in the game with a fine equaliser. There were  more chances in the game and Darragh was kept busy on many occasions but at the end it was a well deserved point and with Brussels British losing we are out of the relegation zone . Match against them in 2 weeks will be critical in our goal to avoid the drop.

Vets 2 were up against Tubifoot and started poorly going a goal down early on. They had a number of other chances to increase their lead but it remained 1 0 to them at the break. Second half we played better and a few chances were created.They also had opportunites but defensively we kept them out. With about 15 minutes to go we broke out of defence and Oscar went down the right wing before squaring the ball to Dave who curled a beauty into the top corner to make it 1-1.We continued to press for the winner but the game ended in a draw.

Ladies 1 are playing this evening. Ladies 2 had no game this weekend.

All games are off again this weekend 

All matches this weekend have been postponed  

With no men's matches this weekend it was left to the brave Ladies to get the New Year rolling on Sunday. Ladies P1 team woke up before dawn (6am some of the ladies) to go to a cold, foggy and icy pitch with the decision of the ref to play. In the beginning we could not see the goal across the pitch. And with last minute illness, 12 brace players and 2 coaches faced off against Sparta Lombeek. And it paid off! First victory away 0-3 final score (0-1 at half time). Goals by Virg, Ariane and Celine. Great fighting spirit on and off pitch. Great way to start the Sunday and end the weekend.

Ladies 2 also played their away game but lost 3-1. Lotte scored our only goal.
