What most accurately describes socially responsible investing?

Socially responsible investing (SRI) refers to an investment strategy that incorporates ethical, social, and environmental considerations alongside financial returns. Investors who practice SRI typically seek to support companies and projects that align with their values, such as those that promote sustainability, social justice, or ethical governance. This approach often involves screening investments to exclude industries deemed harmful (like tobacco or fossil fuels) and actively seeking out those that contribute positively to society. Ultimately, SRI aims to generate both financial gain and positive social impact.
