PRI and UNEP Fi: Investor obligations and duties in 6 Asian markets

In January 2016, the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) and The Generation Foundation launched a three-year project to clarify investors’ obligations and duties in relation to the incorporation of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues in investment practice and decision-making. This follows the publication in September 2015 of Fiduciary Duty in the 21st Century by the PRI, UNEP FI, the UNEP Inquiry and the UN Global Compact.
