The UN-backed Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) is in the process of an organisational pivot as it looks to shift its primary function away from driving ESG accountability among investors (which it has been doing for the past two decades) to facilitating collaboration.
The High-Level Expert Group has carefully prepared a view of the changes needed to make capital markets sustainable. The report establishes a reform agenda that the PRI backs wholeheartedly.
A new report from the Principles for Responsible Investment states that investment consultants must put ESG issues at the core of the advice they offer, to build a sustainable finance system.
PRI is working on aligning Europe’s financial system with sustainability objectives, as ESG-related initiatives gain momentum globally. Head of policy and research, Nathan Fabian, explains.
Representatives from CalPERS and Cbus Super joined academics in challenging large investors to do more for sustainable finance and outlining some practical ways to achieve this goal.
PRI’s draft 10-year responsible investment blueprint will address desirable characteristics, drivers of change, and risks and opportunities within the financial system. Feedback from signatories will set priorities for the next decade.
