Handbook on Responsible Investment Across Asset Classes (Book)

David Wood, Director of the IRI explained the Handbook's goal "was to examine how responsible investment, understood as investment that combines rigorous financial analysis with the incorporation of environmental, social, and governance criteria into the investment decision-making process, might be applied across asset classes."

The Handbook on Responsible Investment is a publication of The Center's Institute for Resonsible Investment. Written for asset owners, money managers, consultants, and others seeking to institutionalize responsible investment principles across portfolios, the Handbook will help investors: incorporate responsible investment methods into their investment mandate; identify and evaluate opportunities for responsible investment, and; coordinate the vocabulary and metrics used to measure social and environmental outcomes.
