What is socially responsible investing???

The global momentum around responsible investment is driven by:

recognition in the financial community that ESG factors play a material role in determining risk and return;
understanding that incorporating ESG factors is part of investors’ fiduciary duty to their clients and beneficiaries;
concern about the impact of short-termism on company performance, investment returns and market behaviour;
legal requirements protecting the long-term interests of beneficiaries and the wider financial system.
pressure from competitors seeking to differentiate themselves by offering responsible investment services as a competitive advantage;
beneficiaries becoming ever-more active and demanding transparency about where and how their money is being invested.
value-destroying reputational risk from issues such as climate change, pollution, working conditions, employee diversity, corruption and aggressive tax strategies in a world of globalised and social media.

We believe that an economically efficient, sustainable global financial system is a necessity for long-term value creation. Such a system will reward long-term, responsible investment and benefit the environment and society as a whole.

Socially responsible investing (SRI), also known as sustainable, socially conscious, "green" or ethical investing, is any investment strategy which seeks to consider both financial return and social good.

Thanks for the information.
