(CSRwire) New York, NY - Amy Domini, founder and CEO of Domini Social Investments, announced today that the company has hired Kyle J. Johnson as Director of Institutional Sales and Peter Salts as Director of Finance and Compliance.

Kyle J. Johnson, Director of Institutional Sales

Before joining Domini, Kyle Johnson worked for over four years at KLD Research & Analytics,Inc., where he served as Chair of the Domini 400 Social Index(SM) Committee, responsible for the maintenance of the Index and determining the direction and consistency of its maintenance methodology. The Domini 400 Social Index serves as the basis for the Domini Social Equity Fund (NASDQ: DSEFX), the nation's oldest and largest socially and environmentally screened index fund. In addition to meeting basic financial criteria, companies are included in or excluded from the Index on the basis of their community relations, corporate governance, diversity, employee relations, the environment, human rights, and the quality or benefits of the product or service they offer.

"My colleagues and I at KLD have developed a rigorous process to maintain an index that meets the needs of the typical socially responsible investor," said Mr. Johnson. "I'm delighted to have the opportunity to talk to the public about how Domini is applying that index in real-world investing and advocacy, and about the vision of socially responsible investing that KLD and Domini share."

Mr. Johnson holds a master's degree in theological studies from Harvard Divinity School and a bachelor's degree in comparative religion from Harvard College.

Peter Salts, Director of Finance and Compliance

Peter Salts has over ten years' experience in the financial operations of mutual funds. Before joining Domini, he spent three years as the controller for mutual funds and as the fund board preparations officer for American Skandia Investment Services, serving more than 70 subadvised mutual and annuity funds in excess of $25 billion. During his tenure he developed a management reporting package that detailed the profitability of the firm's mutual fund product line. Prior to joining American Skandia, he worked for Goldman Sachs Asset Management for over five years, where he oversaw and managed
back-office financial operations for over 50 mutual funds.

"I am excited about being a member of the Domini team and am looking forward to meeting the challenges related to growing the business and the creation of new products," said Mr. Salts.

Mr. Salts holds a bachelor's degree in accounting and finance and a master's in business administration, both from Pace University.
