How important is it for investors to invest in companies who...?

use a considerable amount of their earnings (and sometimes money that would otherwise be used to pay dividends) for environmentally and socially sustainable purposes s.a. reforestation, toxic clean-up, human aid, research for cleaner alternatives etc.?

Would your answer change if the question was about the investor 50 years from today?

Why?

I believe those goals should be allocated to government agencies rather than companies. Companies should focus their energies on making money for their investors.

Actually governments do not do a real good job at that so how can you expect companies to do better?

be frank all the investors are investing to earn money . But there are certain companies which are spending money for some social cause .That type of companies are earning as well as spending . But there are certain companies which would invest for some social cause in order to avoid tax . Paying tax is also is also a social cause . My view is that if a company is paying all the dues to the government and to its investor ,it would be the best company which would be doing what all you have mentioned . This answer will never change even after 50 years there are many companies which are currently doing this in India .
