Socially Responsible Investing

Socially responsible investing (SRI), ethical investing, or sustainable investing is practiced by individuals and institutions. The strategies incorporate environmental, social, governance criteria in the investment process. Such criteria may be applied via screening of portfolios, shareowner advocacy or activism campaigns, and community development investing. A distinct form of investing, sustainable investing (or SRI) has matured into a rapidly growing global industry and community.
