Responsible investing

Responsible investment is rapidly becoming a mainstream concern for the investment industry. Dramatic growth in the number of investors who have adopted the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) is only the latest indicator that the sector is paying serious attention to the integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on investments and portfolios. Credible responsible investment policies and decision making will protect and enhance portfolio returns, especially over the longer term.
