Super-Advice and Socially Responsible Investing

What is Socially Responsible Investing?

Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) normally focuses on selecting investments where, in addition to the normal financial criteria, consideration is also given to how seriously a company takes its responsibilities in mitigating the negative aspects its business activities may have on the wider community and environment.

The most common methodology for SRI is to utilise a negative screening process which avoids certain companies or industries that are assessed as having a negative impact on society. At an industry level, this often rules out industries associated with gambling, alcohol, armaments and tobacco.
