SRI report 240

Sustainable, responsible, and impact investing (SRI) increased 38 percent to $12 trillion from 2016 to 2018, according to the US SIF’s 2018 report on U.S. SRI trends. Both asset managers and institutional investors increasingly use environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria, with top priorities being climate change, tobacco, and conflict risk. The report, supported by MacArthur, also noted that that recent surveys indicate a notable increase in investor dialogue on and support for ESG investments.
