The Social Responsibility of the Investment Profession (PDF, 1.70 MB) by Julie Hudson gives helpful definitions of SRI terminology, different investment approaches and disciplines. It also provides a brief overview on how SRI is implemented in markets such as the US, Japan and mainland Europe. Chapter 4 explains the Triple Bottom Line concept and why it should be considered in disclosing and reporting financial performance. The publication puts SRI in a theoretical context, contrasting it with accepted theoretical frameworks and risk models.
