Our Strengths

The EIRIS Foundation is a founder of the ethical and responsible investment movement. From our historic involvement in the creation of the first retail ethical fund in the UK to our founding and ongoing role with the Corporate Human Right’s Benchmark (CHRB), our work illustrates our core strengths:

– A pioneering spirit. We consistently bridge the gaps in what is needed, including on difficult, under-served topics.

– Independence. As a charity, we can avoid conflicts of interest.

– Catalysing coalitions. That trust, plus a wide network of long-standing connections, mean we can bring together broad collaborations when required.

– Supporting innovations. We can both deploy innovations ourselves, and recognize and support great innovations from others.

– Quality of methods and outputs. Our research findings are known for their independence and high standards.
