Abstract: In this work we present an overview of the historical development of Socially Responsible Investing, a financial activity that has been boosting in recent decades from a niche, mainly religious-led exclusionary practice, towards a mainstream strategy of risk analysis for institutional and retail investors. We will also discuss the advances that regulatory activity and harmonization process on such industry have achieved at international level in recent years, with a special focus on the European Union.
