There is an increasing consensus that, beyond financial returns, investors should also consider theenvironmental and social impacts of their business activities. Major institutional investors currentlyare entering the realm of socially responsible investment (SRI), which incorporates environmental,social, and governance (ESG) factors into decision-making based on internationally recognizedstandards and principles. As influential institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) haveattracted attention worldwide and raised concerns from host countries. In this context, questionsmay arise, such as: Whether and why do SWFs need to undertake SRI? How to implement SRIstrategies by SWFs? Can SWFs influence corporate performance through SRI?This paper analyses the impact of SWFs in the realm of SRI and clarifies relevant legal issuesconcerning SRI initiatives by SWFs. It first examines the rationale of SRI and the reasons toimplement SRI from theoretical and practical perspectives. It then questions the necessity toundertake SRI by SWFs. It discusses how to practice SRI based on examples of selected SWFs.It finally assesses relevant legal issues of SWFs’ SRI actions. It concludes that SWFs can promotesocial responsibility and influence corporate governance of target companies to ensure their returnsthrough SRI. But to be responsible investors promoting sustainability, SWFs ought to undertake SRIin line with certain legislative constraints or specific guidelines
