SRI (Socially Responsible Investing)

SRI is an investment strategy that considers both financial return and social/environmental good. Investors use SRI to align their portfolios with their values by avoiding companies that harm society or the environment. Common SRI criteria include human rights, environmental protection, and ethical governance. SRI strategies can involve positive screening, negative screening, and shareholder advocacy. The approach is similar to ESG investing but often emphasizes ethical values more explicitly.
