Report on Sustainable Investments (SI)

(06 Apr '09)

The Research Programme called Sustainable Investments (SI)  is comprised of two sub-programmes: the Sustainable Investment Research Platform (SIRP) at the Umeå School of Business and Behavioral Impediments to Sustainable Investments (BISI) at University of Gothenburg, both sponsored by swedish foundation MISTRA.

The researchers in Umeå collaborate with the European Centre for Corporate Engagement in several studies. In its first three years, the research programme Sustainable Investments has presented results that show that sustainable investing can be profitable. In the next phase of the programme the focus will shift to the factors that drive investment behaviour. The full report can be downloaded here.
