Environmental issues
- Quick links
The PRI supports investors seeking to address a range of environmental issues with companies in their portfolios. Key topics include sustainable commodities, deforestation, biodiversity and the circular economy.
-
Nature
Nature provides essential services – such as food, clean air and energy – that we all rely on. For investors, the ability to optimise risk-adjusted returns to end-clients and beneficiaries both depends on and impacts nature.
-
Circular economy
A circular economy is a model of production and consumption that tackles global challenges, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution. The PRI has so far engaged investors on this topic in the context of plastics but is further exploring other value chains to tackle.
Water
Water is a finite and shared resource. As well as being a basic human right and fundamental to healthy ecosystems, water is vital to the functioning of the global economy.
Fracking
The production of oil and gas via hydraulic fracturing (fracking) remains important and yet can be viewed as a contentious method in some regions, with community controversies, bans and moratoria in different areas.
Methane
Methane, the primary component of natural gas, is a climate pollutant 84 times more powerful than carbon dioxide (CO2) over a 20-year period, and it is responsible for 25% of the global warming we are experiencing today.
- The PRI is an investor initiative in partnership with UNEP Finance Initiative and UN Global Compact.
