The PRI is the world's leading proponent of responsible investment
We work to understand how environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues – such as climate change, human rights and tax avoidance – impact investments, and we support our international network of investor signatories in incorporating these factors into their investment and ownership decisions.
The PRI acts in the long-term interests of its signatories, of the financial markets and economies in which they operate and ultimately of the environment and society as a whole.
Blueprint for responsible investment
Our aim over the next 10 years is to bring responsible investors together to work towards sustainable markets that contribute to a more prosperous world for all.
