Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) seeks to return control over publicly traded companies to their owners so that they can take responsibility for what they own. Portfolio Screening is a first step.

Socially Responsible Investing also asks investors to consider more than the profitability of their investments. It asks investors to consider the social and environmental footprints of the companies or mutual funds they own. Integrating social and environmental issues and concerns into your investment decisions requires asking questions.
