If we're talking about the funds of a charity that doesn't have a particular axe to grind, then the lazy but straightforward answer would be to invest the money in an 'ethical' financial company. I bank with the coop on this basis - I'm sure if I looked into it closely I wouldn't agree with all their ethical stances in detail, but I think they probably add up to a better ethical stance than that of a company that doesn't factor it in.

BTW: whats wrong with gold mining? Gold shiney! Did I miss a Grauniad feature?

It's not environmentally friendly - spewing cyanide through Africa - or people friendly.

(This is vaguely remembered from a Church Times article some years back, and there's probably more to it than that.)

Unless you keep it in a sock under the bed, I think that's the best one can hope for...
