ECCE SRI conference presentations are available online

(03 Oct '09)

On September 24 and 25, ECCE organized for the second time an academic conference on socially responsible investing (SRI). The conference hosted new innovative studies that addressed various  questions, including:

• What drives CSR?
• Do investors care about societal and personal values in addition to financial goals, and what are the implications for financial product development?
• What does new evidence tell us about the risk and returns associated with SRI?
• How do CSR issues matter to fixed-income and real estate investors?
• How can shareholder activism be successfully implemented?
• Are environmental, social, and corporate governance ratings developed in the right way?

Several presentations that were part of the conference program are available for download. For presentations that are not yet publicly available, please contact Els van Aernsbergen. The working papers are also available for download.
