SRI Asia

"Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) is an investment process that considers the social and environmental consequences of investments, both positive and negative, within the context of rigorous financial analysis. It is a process of identifying and investing in companies that meet certain standards of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)".
 
 (US Social Investment Forum, 2003)

OWW Consulting is proud to be the first signatory in Singapore and Malaysia to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI), a United Nations organisation which brings together Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) organisations around the world. Institutional members of the UNPRI account for more than US$5 trillion assets under management who acknowledge that:

By reason of our fiduciary responsibility, we believe that the environmental, social and governance (ESG) stakes may affect the performance of investment portfolios (to variable degrees according to the undertaking, economic sectors, regions, classes of assets and the term of investment.)
