Why Responsible Investment
Global emissions continue to rise, our natural world is in decline, and the divide between rich and poor is widening.
These global challenges are being driven by short-term investment decisions focused on maximising profit which fail to account for external risks and impacts. While the idea of responsible finance is growing fast, the world’s major investors are not yet driving change at the level needed.
We work to define the highest standards of responsible investment and to drive change until these standards are adopted worldwide. Together, we can harness the positive potential of our finance system.
