Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI)

The Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) is the world's leading advocate for responsible investment. Established in 2005, the PRI works to understand the investment implications of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors and supports its international network of investor signatories in incorporating these factors into their investment and ownership decisions. By adhering to the six guiding principles, signatories commit to integrating ESG considerations into their investment practices, thereby contributing to the development of a more sustainable global financial system.

Key aspects of the PRI include:

• Global Network: The PRI comprises a diverse group of institutional investors, asset managers, and service providers from around the world, all dedicated to responsible investment practices.
• Six Principles: Signatories commit to six principles that provide a framework for integrating ESG factors into investment decision-making and ownership practices.
• Educational Resources: The PRI offers a range of resources, including reports, guides, and workshops, to assist signatories in implementing responsible investment strategies.
• Collaboration and Engagement: The organization facilitates collaboration among investors and engagement with policymakers to promote sustainable financial markets.

By promoting the integration of ESG factors into investment decisions, the PRI aims to foster a more sustainable and inclusive global economy.
