Investors are a demanding, sometimes contradictory universe of people. Not only do they want good, preferably outstanding, financial returns, but increasingly they want to invest only in companies that meet their ethical criteria.
This course looks at the rapidly moving world of socially responsible investment: what it means, how it is defined and measured, who does it and how successfully. Issues such as differences in cultural perspectives, how screening works, the boundaries between SRI, other forms of ethical investment and the regulatory system are covered thoroughly through local case studies and group exercises.
