SRI in Asian emerging markets : ASrIA reports

The purpose of this report is to provide up-to-date and comprehensive information on the status of sustainable and responsible investment (SRI) in seven of Asia's emerging markets and, through this work, to advise on potential next steps for further developing SRI in Asia. The reports are primarily directed at global SRI investors on the one hand and local investors on the other, as well as to governments, development agencies, corporates, civil society organizations, and all others interested in and instrumental to sustainable investment in Asia. SRI funds have played a role in influencing governments and regulatory bodies to introduce policies that will encourage the ethical performance and transparency of financial markets. SRI provides individual investors with the opportunity to know what one own and invest in-line with personal values.
