WHAT IS SRI?
SRI is the common abbreviation for “Socially Responsible Investing”. Which means the integrating of personal values and social concerns with investment decisions. SRI considers both the investor’s financial needs and an investment’s impact on society. With SRI, the investor can feel confident that investment money is being put to work, to build a better tomorrow, while earning competitive returns today.
One mark of an organization’s attention to social responsibility is the adoption of a formal environmental management program. Many investors look for registration to the ISO 14000 international environmental management standard as a measure of pro-active acceptance of social responsibility.
