Socially Responsible Investment Continues to Grow in 2006; Spreads to Mainstream Venues

In its year-end review, CSR Wire discusses the top five developments in socially responsible investing in 2006. One growing trend has been the strengthening of shareholder rights and the incorporation of SRI content into investment analysis at institutions like Merrill Lynch, Citibank, Wells Fargo, and Piper Jaffrey.

Among the top developments listed is also the establishment of the United Nations principles for responsible investment (the UN PRI homepage can be found here.)
