| Abstract: | As social responsible investments (SRIs) are becoming more and more in common, the use of non-financial criteria in investment decision-making creates a "puzzle of SRI". The puzzle arises from when the the day-to-day management of the corporation is interrupted by administrating process of justice. The puzzle includes the following questions for the investor: What should be done when the corporation is accused of something unethical? What should be done when the corporation faces a law suit? What should be done when the corporation is found guilty? The authors argue that these situations should not be reasons for disinvestment. Examples from investor practices are provided. |
