Principles for Responsible Investment

About Principles for Responsible Investment

The Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) is a leading global organization that aims to understand the investment implications of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. Established in 2006, the PRI works to encourage investors to incorporate these critical factors into their investment decision-making processes.

With over 4,000 signatories, including asset owners, investment managers, and service providers, the PRI represents a diverse range of stakeholders committed to responsible investment practices. The organization provides a framework for its members to align their investments with the broader goals of sustainability and ethical governance.

The PRI’s core activities include:

• Guidance and Support: Offering resources and tools to help signatories implement responsible investment strategies.
• Collaboration: Facilitating collaboration among investors to share best practices and drive collective action on ESG issues.
• Reporting and Assessment: Providing a framework for signatories to report on their responsible investment activities and assess their progress.
• Advocacy: Engaging with policymakers and regulators to promote sustainable finance and responsible investment practices globally.

The PRI envisions a world where all investments are made with consideration for their impact on society and the environment. By promoting responsible investment, the PRI seeks to create a more sustainable financial system that benefits both investors and the communities they serve.

Headquartered in the UK, the PRI continues to expand its influence and reach, working towards a future where responsible investment is the norm rather than the exception.
