SRI funds use both positive and negative “screens” within the context of rigorous financial analysis. Positive means the companies in the fund may support alternative energy, or have a strong record on human rights and labor issues, among others, while negative screens may exclude companies involved with alcohol, cigarettes, guns, or nuclear power as well as those with egregious human or labor rights or environmental problems.
