Join a multi-company, cross-industry study designed to understand if and how environmental, social, and governance (ESG) critiera are being integrated by mainstream investors and the role of investor relations in communicating on ESG performance.
Launched in April of 2009 as a follow up to BSR's report "Environmental, Social, and Governance: Moving to Mainstream Investing?" this project seeks to understand the current context and trends around ESG investing.
In particular, we'll look at investors and investor relations' perspectives on the value of integrating ESG factors into mainstream investment and the processes, constraints, and opportunities for improving integration of ESG factors into companies' valuations. We'll also explore how investor relations can better communicate with all investors on key ESG issues.
