Ten years ago, it was
unacceptable to suggest taking social and environmental issues
into account when making an investment decision. Thanks to the
SRI community, this is no longer the case. SRI criteria
are now integrated into the management of many investment funds.
This is certainly the case in North America, Europe and Australia.
But what about Asia?
To date SRI has made
little headway in Asia. Beyond Australia, Japan has taken the
greatest lead. However more and more Asian corporations are coming
to realize that poor environmental and workplace practices can
impact the bottom line. ASrIA aims to mobilize the capital markets
in Asia so they reward sustainable enterprises.
The ASrIA Inaugural
Conference is one of the first in Asia dedicated to SRI. The region
is home to almost 60% of the world's population and the development
challenges and opportunities are immense. SRI has a critical role
to play in fostering sustainable economic development.
Whether you are a committed
SRI practitioner or a newcomer to the field, you cannot afford
to ignore Asia and Asia's growing investment market. This conference
offers you the first opportunity to learn about the latest trends
and developments in SRI, and its prospects in Asia. Please take
steps now to make a reservation for the Conference. We look forward
to seeing you in Hong Kong soon.
