Abstract

The global financial crisis and ongoing concerns about climate change have placed the spotlight on new styles of investment that are socially responsible and environmentally aware. Recent worries about man-made environmental disasters, life-threatening product safety standards and poor corporate governance have been a driver of ‘Socially Responsible Investment’ (SRI) in Europe and North America, and similar concerns are now growing in Asia. As in the West, these are accompanied by wider interest in the social and environmental impact of corporate activity, both positive and negative, and the extent to which these can be influenced or controlled by investors.
