The PRI is a UN supported organisation which works to understand the investment implications of ESG factors and to support its network of investor signatories to incorporate these factors into their investment and ownership decisions.
The six Principles for Responsible Investment are a voluntary and aspirational set of investment principles that offer a menu of possible actions for incorporating ESG issues into investment practice.
- Principle 1: We will incorporate ESG issues into investment analysis and decision-making processes.
- Principle 2: We will be active owners and incorporate ESG issues into our ownership policies and practices.
- Principle 3: We will seek appropriate disclosure on ESG issues by the entities in which we invest.
- Principle 4: We will promote acceptance and implementation of the Principles within the investment industry.
- Principle 5: We will work together to enhance our effectiveness in implementing the Principles.
- Principle 6: We will each report on our activities and progress towards implementing the Principles.
Principles for Responsible Investment signatories are divided into three categories: Asset Owners, Investment Managers and Service Providers.
To find out which PRI category the company you are researching falls under, search the PRI signatory database.
If the company can be found in the signatory database, enter the PRI category that the company has been assigned and add/cite the company's signatory database page as a source.
If the company cannot be found in the signatory database, enter 'No' and add/cite the signatory database as a source.
'Unknown' is not a possible answer for this metric question.
