| description |
To support the growth of sustainable
capital flows, IFC’s advisory services seek to influence,
support, and enable capital market stakeholders to better
integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG)
factors into capital allocation and portfolio management
processes, using IFC’s own investment practices as a model.
IFC is playing its part to support the growth of the market
by funding the development of enhanced stock market indices,
financial instruments, and through targeted market research.
In 2003, this report provided the first comprehensive
overview of socially responsible investing (SRI) in emerging
markets. Its findings showed that the social investment
industry, having already achieved striking, ongoing growth
in developed countries, could ultimately play an expanded
role in emerging markets as well. This summary version of
the report can be downloaded in full from IFC’s website,
highlights the major findings of the report. Its findings
allow us to gauge how far the sustainable investing
community has come since the turn of the century when ESG
issues were breaking into the mainstream investment field. |
