SRI-CONNECT wishes to encourage greater trade union participation within SRI – provided they are prepared to respect the purpose of the site:
- SRI-CONNECT operates as a space for trusted research collaboration between investors, companies and others
- Unions are welcome to contribute their research and ideas to the site and to participate in the debate
- Unions are not welcome to use the site as a weapon in a campaigning arsenal. In particular, they are reminded of the principle that “what goes on the site, stays on the site”. Information published on SRI-CONNECT can only be published outside the site with the express consent of the supplier of the information
Trade Unions are likely to use the following services from SRI-CONNECT:
Market Buzz & Research
