Summary/Abstract: Classically, three parameters are taken into account, namely return, liquidity and security. However, responsible investments add a fourth parameter - environmental, social and institutional governance (ESRF) - to the concept of classical investment, both monetary and financial. In the light of this information, this study intended to discover whether the investments of Turkish enterprises in the ISO 500 have been carried to a different dimension from the classical investment practices. Accordingly, it was sought to determine the level of the enterprises to minimize environmental impacts in investment decisions, to increase social performance and be sensitive to corporate governance principles. In addition, it has been aimed to identify the driving forces directing the enterprises to responsible investment and the obstacles towards these responsible investment practices. For that purpose, questionnaire technique was conducted with 333 large scale enterprises located in ISO 500.
