Impact investing… ESG integration… shareholder engagement… sustainable investment… green bonds… green asset ratio… these are just a few buzzwords that have become increasingly used in the financial industry and all these terms refer to what is collectively known as “Sustainable and Responsible Investing”, or just “SRI” for short. 

Nevertheless, as the industry continues to experience rapid growth, market participants who are investing for impact have many questions on the topic and the demand from investors looking for examples of ‘best practices’ is enormous. If this sounds like you, you’re in luck! 

Here on SRI360 you will find a selection of articles, opinions and definitions on sustainable investment strategies, products, and markets along with regularly produced, long-format podcast interviews with industry leaders who discuss their unique perspectives.

This month I’ve featured an article appearing on the carrousel at the top of this page that discusses some of the key dynamics of the millennial generation that are driving the mainstreaming of SRI:

• Millennials are more concerned about the future of our planet than the aging boomer generation because they expect to live with the consequences and full impact of climate change. 
• Research shows that GenY is more conscientious about social and environmental topics compared to previous generations.
• The “Great Wealth Transfer” has already started and GenY will increasingly be directing how a substantial percentage of global assets under management will be invested, likely preferring SRI over conventional investment strategies.

It’s a huge movement that’s shaking up the financial world and the asset management industry will never be the same. We are regularly updating the site to keep you abreast of latest trends like this and give you relevant insights and new podcast investor interviews with the objective of developing a central independent platform for professional and private investors who are interested in investing for impact.
