EIA International SRI Conference Date: September 21-22, 2006 Location: Sydney, Australia ASrIA is a supporting organisation. Opportunities abound in Sustainable Responsible Investment.

Over the last two years, there has been a major acceleration in understanding of the nexus between investment and sustainability in the business, political and social arenas. During this time, we have also seen leading investment and stockbroking firms turn their research toward the impact environmental, social and governance issues can have on portfolio value.

Are you ready?

Be part of the largest gathering of SRI investors and professionals in Australia and New Zealand and network at the heart of the sector.

Ready, Set, GO! is the EIA’s fifth International Conference and features some of the world’s great leaders in SRI. You will learn about the big issues which drive our investment decisions such as climate change, water risk, industrial relations, bribery and gambling as well as global movements in responsible finance such as engagement practices, trustee initiatives, the cleantech boom and microfinance. You will also hear about the latest SRI developments in Europe, Britain, Asia, Canada and the United States directly from the thought leaders who are driving change in those areas.

Learn from the best.
