EIRIS Foundation research shows European foundations should consider ESG risks to safeguard assets
Lisa Hagerman, Friday, May 16th, 2009
UK based EIRIS Foundation and its independent research arm, released new research this week showing that trusts and foundations should re-think their investment analysis and examine ESG issues such as how climate change and corporate governance pose financial risks and opportunities. The report authored by Sam Collin, Charity Adviser at the EIRIS Foundation highlights 8 steps that trusts and foundations should take in managing investments in a sustainable way:
1) Agree on position in responsible investment
2) Research investment manager’s expertise and practice on ESG integration
3) Include ESG integration in the investment mandate
4) Join collaborative initiatives, such as the Carbon Disclose Project
5) Vote shares on ESG related issues
6) Engage with companies directly or via investment managers
7) Invest in sustainability-themed funds such as greentech, microfinance or timber
8) Invest in responsible investment funds that use ESG integration
