Impact of SRI on your company
Socially responsible investment and its impact to your company20th July 2009 by Richard Gunawan
There is growing market demand for Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) and more investors are willing to invest over the longer term in the organisations that contribute positively to sustainable development, public benefit and environmental protection. The recent credit crunch has provided an opportunity for pension funds to exit from traditional markets and to diversify their portfolios to include sustainable and socially responsible investments
Richard Gunawan, Vice President of LRQA spoke to Martha Grossman, General Manager of RepuTex in Hong Kong, to better understand the implications of this trend on the business community. RepuTex has analysed over 4,000 stocks internationally according to its detailed methodology platform which considers Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) and carbon factors. The firm has also established environmental and sustainability indices which cover the S&P 500, the MSCI World Index, the S&P ASX 300, the Nikkei 225, the CSI 300 (China A) and the Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong.
