Description
The Calvert-Henderson Quality of Life Indicators grew out of a relationship between an international futurist, Hazel Henderson, an asset management firm, Calvert Group, and 12 scholars with expertise in the respective dimensions of quality of life explored on this website.
Calvert Group of Bethesda, Maryland co-sponsored the effort and assumed leadership of the project's research and development in 1994. Calvert is a leader in the field of socially responsible investing (SRI), with over $9 billion in total assets and 27 SRI and fixed income funds. Calvert's approach to SRI includes incorporating social analysis into its investment process, actively encouraging companies to adopt best practices, and investing in disadvantaged communities. Barbara Krumsiek, the CEO of Calvert Group, has this to say about the Calvert-Henderson Quality of Life Indicators:
"All over the country, citizens are demonstrating a desire to engage in serious discussions about how to measure quality of life and livable communities in the United States. For the past eight years, the Calvert Group has been a part of this exciting debate, first with the release of the initial volume of the Calvert-Henderson Quality of Life Indicators, and then with the release of this web site - an updated version of the first national comprehensive assessment of the quality of life in the United States using a systems approach. The deep insights, illuminating findings, and bold explorations into historical and contemporary environmental, economic, and social conditions of the country are our contributions to this important debate. We hope its messages and many lessons will empower people from all walks of like who are equally concerned about our future together on this planet."
