"In considering the question of whether it is possible for socially responsible investing (SRI) to be ethical, we must first be clear on the meaning of the two terms, i.e. "SRI" and "ethical". In the personal sense, we usually understand "ethical" to mean doing the right thing, according to some external code or rules of conduct. Similarly, in the professional world ethical is usually understood to mean conforming to an external code of conduct, which is often formally laid down as the professional standards of conduct for a particular profession."
