`The authors have done an excellent job explaining the development
and practice of Socially Responsible Investment (SRI). Under the
recent recognition of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Asia
and its strong emphasis by US and European corporations, this book
provides important guidance to students and professionals who are
interested in the effects and implications of SRI. This book is
truly informative and should be on the reading list of all fund
managers and CFOs of international corporations which are serious
about CSR.' - Louis T.W. Cheng, Hong Kong Polytechnic University
`Individual investors and corporate heads have the responsibility
to keep abreast of major changes in the marketplace. Socially
responsible investment is one of those changes. Fung, Law and Yau
provide, in a single source, a great opportunity to get up to date
on an area that will be a force for years to come. I encourage any
thoughtful investor or manager to read this book.' - Thomas
Schneeweis, University of Massachusetts - Amherst, US Socially
responsible investment (SRI) is becoming increasingly popular and
can be potentially rewarding to all parties concerned. This book
discusses the opportunities, challenges, and practices of SRI in a
global financial environment in a consistent and integrated
framework of risk management. It also covers a wide variety of
environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) issues
related to various participants, such as values-based retail,
institutional investors, corporations, banks, supranational
agencies, and non-governmental organizations. Readers are provided
with the perspectives of SRI from various players in the financial
community - from values-based investors to fiduciaries to
supranational agencies. The authors analyse the incorporation of
ESG issues into investment practices within a regulatory, legal,
reputational, and operational risk management framework. Academics,
corporate executives, government regulators and policymakers,
bankers, and non-governmental organizations involved with
sustainable development will find much of interest in this book.
