From the Paper:

"It is not, on the other hand, just the moral status and standards that a company promotes that investors look for when investing ethically. Of course, the investors require that the company they invest at can provide them with quick returns of investments, competitive returns of investments, and secured method of investing. That is, investors who invest ethically have the goals of being able to earn without going through unethical business procedures or operations. Beal (2005) and her colleagues also suggest that some motivations of investing ethically are the objectives of attaining non-wealth returns and being able to contribute to the society."
