Research

One of Eurosif's aims is to initiate and publish research related to legislation, policies and practices for the integration of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues into European financial services. As part of this role, Eurosif's Research work can be broken down as follows:


Conducted every two years, the European SRI Study is one of the few sources in Europe highlighting the state of the European Sustainable and Responsible Investment (SRI) Market, as well as the trends in individual European countries. 

Conducted every two years, the HNWI & Sustainable Investment Study examines the sustainable investment strategies used by wealthy families in their asset allocations and the extent to which they integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues into their investment decision-making and ownership practices.

Conducted in 2009, the study examines the investment consultants' role in shaping investors' strategies, investment practices and asset manager selections. It reports on what extent investment consultancies integrate ESG issues into their offerings with clients.

Conducted in 2007, the study highlights a new and fast-growing sector within the Private Equity market that combines profit objectives with sustainability criteria.

Sector and Theme Reports 
The sector and theme reports are aimed at helping the general public as well as policy makers, mainstream asset managers, companies, and pension fund trustees understand risks that lie outside the realms of traditional financial analysis, but may influence investments.

Eurosif and Le Monde have forged a strategic partnership to publish a series of articles on ESG performance indicators, seeking to foster a culture and understanding of SRI and key CSR issues within the mainstream media and their audiences.
Available for Member Affiliates only, the 'Top Research Picks' contains brief descriptions, with links to the full reports, of what Eurosif found to be the most interesting and pertinent publicly available research papers in the areas of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risks and opportunities.
