Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) corresponds to an investment practice that takes into account not only the usual financial return-risk criteria, but also other non-financial dimensions, namely in terms of environmental, social and governance concerns. In recent years, SRI has undergone tremendous growth that has increased even more after the 2008 financial crisis. In this context of growth it is important for mutual fund managers and institutional to know the profile of this important emerging group of investors, especially in countries like Spain where this type of investment is still marginal.In this paper we analyze the degree of influence of a number of variables on the propensity for being a socially responsible investor through logistic regression. This study can be of great value for marketing researchers, institutional investors and fund managers attempting to identify those investors more receptive to SRI products. The information can also be used by advertising researchers to develop effective advertising campaigns.

This essay argues that during and after the financial crisis of 2008/2009, fundamental questions about the purpose of financial institutions in society were left unanswered. The essay begins with clarifying its understanding of the financial crisis and the ignored issue of the societal role of banks. It then proceeds to introduce the German banking industry, followed by a section explaining SRI and alternative banking which are illustrated by GLS Gemeinschaftsbank and Commerzbank. Since the essay regards banks as socially embedded in society, its analysis is illustrated by the interests of a financial citizen in Germany.
