Abstract: In this study, we address the topic of sustainable and responsible portfolio investments (SRI). The selection of such portfolios is based, in addition to traditional financial variables, on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. The interest of our approach resides in allowing socially responsible (SR) portfolio investors to select their optimal portfolios by considering their individual preferences for each objective and simultaneous definition of the degrees of acceptance and rejection. In particular, we consider socially responsible portfolio selection as an optimization problem with multiple objectives before applying interactive intuitionistic fuzzy method to solve the portfolio optimization. The robustness of our approach is tested through an empirical study on the top 10 Stocks for ESG values worldwide.
