Corporate responsibility

Responsible investment and corporate responsibility (CR) are becoming increasingly key issues for companies, banks and other entities in the world of business and finance. Whereas in the past financial risk management has refered largely to the security of investments, issues such as environmental and social sustainability are now often seen as equally important factors in fund management.

Consumers and investors also increasingly demand stricter ethical practices and operational transparency from fund managers.

ecoVeritas, along with its partner SourceAsia, has developed an ethical issues tracking services that allows investment funds to monitor the social, ethical, and environmental performance of companies across the globe. Our service enables funds with a large portfolio of investments to keep close tabs on unethical use of invested money. With regular, tailored reports and a growing database of past transgressions, we help clients and investors ensure that their investments are not contributing to unethical behaviour and unsound business practices, regardless of where in the world these activities might be taking place.

Our consultants also have many years' experience advising individual companies on ways of improving their corporate reputations, using a holistic approach to social and environmental sustainability. ecoVeritas offers independent verification of annual CR reports, and members of REPRA can also share their knowledge, ideas and best practices at annual meetings.
