VALUES AND ETHICS ARE BACK IN THE LIMELIGHT.
The Global Financial Crisis (GFC) has had a devastating effect on individuals and communities worldwide, and has led investors to demand greater accountability from the companies they invest in. By adopting a responsible investment strategy you can make your voice heard on corporate responsibility issues that concern you.
Public anger at the excesses of banks and large corporations is evolving into a widespread public belief that companies and financial markets need to rebuild with an improved regulatory framework, improved ethics and governance standards, and address the short-term preoccupations which led to the Global Financial Crisis.
Addressing the investment risks associated with environmental, social, governance and ethical issues is now seen as being crucial to achieving an economic recovery that is about real and enduring change.
As a result there will be more pressure placed on companies to explain how they are dealing with key social and environmental challenges. Responsible investors can ensure their voices are heard by investing in companies already systematically addressing issues such as:
