Event Summary

The UN PRI Report on Progress 2008 includes the key finding that: “Principle 1 of the PRI, which focuses on incorporating ESG issues into investment analysis and decision making, was ranked the most difficult to implement.”

Integrating ESG into Portfolios is a one-day seminar examining how investors can integrate environmental, social and corporate governance issues into mainstream investment analysis and decision making, including the wider portfolio impacts.
