The SRI phenomenon is said to be entering the mainstream of
financial intermediation. From a fairly marginal practice promoted
or campaigned for by NGO's and at odds with financial practice and
orthodoxy it grew into well formulated policy adopted by a wide
range of investors. Academic literature on SRI has also boomed on
the assumption that mainstreaming is taking place. However, little
thinking has been carried out on questions specifically arising
from this alleged 'mainstreaming'. This book, addressed to those
with a scholarly or practitioner's interest in SRI, starts filling
this neglected dimension.
Today, one cannot ignore the difficulties of main stream
financing. The financial spheres are trembling globally in one of
the worst crises since the 1930's. As a response to the crisis, the
intermediation of 'financial responsibility' will undoubtedly be
the subject of new regulation and scrutinizing. This book looks
into what these turbulences will imply for SRI.
In view of these circumstances, one might or even should, ask
oneself whether the phenomenon was not an empty fad during the
exuberant high of financial euphoria that came abruptly to an end
with current financial crises. To put it rather sec: are financial
intermediaries that promote 'sustainability' credible, while it is
obvious that some developments in financial intermediation
-predictably, as some say- were unsustainable?
Is this an opportunity for enhancing SRI because of the strength
and superiority it has developed or will it disappear due to a
return to financial myopia? This book is the first to question the
future of SRI in such a radical way."
