The Calvert Group, an investment company located in Bethesda, believes that investing in their employees is just as important as investing in socially responsible mutual funds. Employees who choose to walk or bike are reimbursed for the cost of one pair of walking shoes per year up to $120, or $350 toward the cost of a bicycle.

"We were subsidizing people who drive to work with free parking, and realized it's not sensible to support one type of commute over another. If your goal is to improve everyone's commute, you've got to support bicycling and walking."
