How do the Principles relate to Socially Responsible Investment (SRI)?
The Principles are designed to be compatible with the investment styles of large, and often diversified, institutional investors that operate within a traditional fiduciary framework. The Principles apply across the whole investment business and are not designed to be relevant only to SRI products. However, the Principles do point to a number of approaches – such as active ownership and the integration of ESG issues into investment analysis – that SRI and many corporate governance fund managers also practise.
