On the other hand, “positive screening” in sustainable investing looks for companies that have sustainable, environmentally and socially beneficial operations. Thus, industries such as high-technology, education, renewable energy, and biotech may be included. Within positive screening, this SRI filter may also review their corporate social responsibility governance policies, seeking those that are beneficial above and beyond their standard business – such as community contribution, educational support, recycling programs, and empowering employee benefits. Utilizing positive screening for socially responsible investments is not necessarily easy, as there can be several subjective measures that are difficult to quantify. Whereas negative screening clearly eliminates certain types of categories, positive screening requires an analysis of a significant amount of “soft data.” In fact, the rigorous research and analysis required in positive screening is one of the reasons SRI mutual funds tend to have higher expense ratios than their unscreened counterparts.
