The PRI is the world’s leading proponent of responsible investment. It works:

• to understand the investment implications of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors;
• to support its international network of investor signatories in incorporating these factors into their investment and ownership decisions.

The PRI acts in the long-term interests:

• of its signatories;
• of the financial markets and economies in which they operate;
• and ultimately of the environment and society as a whole.

The PRI is truly independent. It encourages investors to use responsible investment to enhance returns and better manage risks, but does not operate for its own profit; it engages with global policymakers but is not associated with any government; it is supported by, but not part of, the United Nations.
