Our Vision
A just and sustainable financial system that genuinely serves people and planet.
Our Mission
To use research, analysis and influence to identify gaps, barriers, opportunities and enablers — and to help organisations and individuals across the investment chain maximise their contribution to the responsible business and investment agenda.
How we work
Across all our programmes, we deploy two primary mechanisms for change: rigorous, independent research, assessment and benchmarking that defines what good looks like and creates incentives for progress; and convening — bringing together practitioners, investors, civil society and policymakers to build shared understanding and mutual capacity.
Our current programmes
- Social LobbyMap — tracking and analysing corporate lobbying on human rights and social legislation, to drive accountability and better policy outcomes.
- Business & Human Rights — building on our role in creating the Corporate Human Rights Benchmark (CHRB) to define good practice in human rights due diligence and support investors and companies in meeting their responsibilities.
- Conflict Risk — through the EIRIS Conflict Risk Network, helping investors identify and manage conflict risk in their portfolios and engaging companies to adopt responsible, peace-supporting practices.
- Charities & Responsible Investment — supporting values-based asset owners, particularly charitable foundations, to adopt and shape responsible investment aligned with their missions and positive social outcomes.
