Dresdner RCM Global Investors links with UNA Trust for Global SRI

Dresdner RCM Global Investors has announced that it has signed an agreement with the United Nations Association Trust under which it will formally adopt the United Nations "Global Compact" benchmarks for socially responsible standards for global business as the basis for enhancing its SRI screening process. The UN Global Compact is a set of core values that operates on a global basis and is used to judge if businesses follow UN principles. Since being awarded its first SRI mandate in 1995, almost 9% of Dresdner RCM's global funds under management are now managed according to SRI criteria.
