How SIFs create value
National and regional sustainable investment fora provide essential support to the sustainable investment industry as hubs of expertise on their home markets, in the development of community and capacity locally, in raising the profile of sustainable and responsible investment, in lobbying for regulatory and fiscal frameworks that support sustainable investment and in delivering information and networking services to their members.
How SRI-Connect can help
SRI-Connect aims to help SIFs by enabling them to connect easily with a broader global audience of sustainable investors to learn from global practice and to share their own expertise.
We encourage all SIF executives to:
- Register via here with SRI-Connect
- Update their coverage and interests (so that the content on SRI-Connect is filtered to their specific needs)
- Update the profile for their organisation via here
- Track global market practice via the weekly Research Highlights email
- Use the Directory to find and ‘connect’ with key contacts within their membership and target membership (All organisations | All individuals)
- Ensure that their own research and activity are seen by a global audience by posting to Market Buzz and by joining relevant discussion groups and participating in debate
In particular, we hope that SRI-Connect can be – for SIFs:
- A second channel of communications to their existing members and to potential members within their domestic market
- An easy way of reaching international colleagues (of local members).
- (Whereas SIFs are usually national, their investment firm members are often global with decision-makers outside the SIFs own market)
- A useful complement to ‘live and local’ networking by supporting discussion between ‘in person’ meetings and events and internationalising this.
