Sustainable Investments for a Greener Future-Exploring the Impact of SRI Funds
Abstract
Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) funds have achieved financial legitimacy and often match or outperform conventional funds. The proof of their environmental and social effects in actual situations remains uncertain. The paper defines the SRI Performance Impact Paradox as a situation that shows strong financial results but produces minor sustainability results. The study uses a structured narrative review to analyze literature from 2000 to 2024 while combining stakeholder theory with legitimacy theory and behavioral finance into a single analytical framework. The analysis reveals that ESG metrics, which are often disconnected, along with companies that only meet basic requirements and have little involvement from shareholders, as well as gaps in regulations, prevent capital from making a real difference. The paper presents a causal framework that explains how SRI capital starts to generate actual impact while it identifies policy changes that will enhance organizational responsibility and operational efficiency.
