CSRwire Adopts Social(k) as Company Retirement Plan

CSRwire Adopts Social(k) as Company Retirement Plan

SPRINGFIELD, MA - August 7, 2007 - CSRWire, the nation's leading newswire focusing on corporate social responsibility (CSR), has adopted Social(k), the nation's most diverse socially responsible retirement plan, as the retirement plan of choice for its employees. Social(k), based in Gasoline Alley in Springfield, MA, offers more than 100 screened socially responsible funds.

CSRWire, based in Springfield, Massachusetts, chose Social(k) over other options to ensure its retirement plan would be aligned with the company's values and ideals.

"All the CSRwire employees wanted to put their retirement dollars with Rob Thomas and Social(k)," said Joe Sibilia, CSRwire president. "Frankly, there is no other real option if a company wants to offer its employees the greatest choice of socially responsible funds in a retirement plan."

Sibilia had asked financial advisor Jason Eaton from Hansen's Financial Services in Fayetteville, NY to undertake a thorough and careful review of retirement plans that would meet CSRWire's needs, and he determined Social(k) was the only appropriate option.

Rob Thomas, president and founder of Social(k), noted that over the past 17 years, since the inception of the Domini 400 Social Index on May 1, 1990, its annualized returns of 12.07% have beaten the S&P 500's annualized returns of 11.54% (as of June 30, 2007) (http://www.kld.com/indexes/ds400index/performance.html).
