Abstract

Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) is the process of integrating personal values and societal concerns into investment decisions. In India, assets deployed under SRI stood at USD 30 billion in 2017. BSE Limited currently has two prominent indexes namely S&P BSE 100 ESG index and S&P BSE Carbonex. National Stock Exchange has launched indexes called NIFTY100 ESG and NIFTY100 Enhanced ESG Index in 2018. Most of the indexes based on SRI have performed better than the overall market. Thus it may make sense to invest in schemes which are socially responsible.
