This day is intended to highlight a range of practical issues that promise to shape the SRI agenda. What are the most important SRI issues for key Asian sectors? How do SRI researchers do their work and what can you do to identify material risks? Looking at things from the end investors' perspective, what do recent studies tell us about how SRI funds perform? Away from the conventional fund arena, what progress is being made in innovative areas such as the micro-finance and private equity sectors?
