United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment
The United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI) is an initiative that encourages investors to incorporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into their investment decisions. Launched in 2006, the UN PRI aims to promote sustainable investment practices and enhance the long-term value of investments by considering the broader impact on society and the environment.
Signatories of the UN PRI commit to six principles that guide their investment strategies. These principles include integrating ESG issues into investment analysis, being active owners, and seeking appropriate disclosure on ESG issues from the companies they invest in. By following these principles, investors can contribute to a more sustainable global economy.
