For the last twenty years, SRI has been an industry in rapid development and constant evolution and there has been little time for self-analysis by the practitioners.  The industry, therefore, has derived great benefit from academic research that has reviewed emerging industry practice, evaluated its assumptions and tested the performance of its theories and outputs.

Considerable academic research has been undertaken on the relationship between the application of sustainability criteria and the financial performance of funds.  Subjects that are, perhaps, under-researched include:

  • The business dynamics of the SRI industry – perhaps one for MBA students?
  • Sector-by-sector analysis of how individual environmental or social interventions (by government, employees or customers) have influenced the profitability of individual companies – and how (and when) this is recognised by the company’s share price 

An industry benefits when open channels of communication exist between industry practitioners and the academics studying the industry.

SRI-CONNECT wishes to encourage this by:

  • Giving senior academics a window on the world of SRI in practice and by
  • Raising the awareness of industry practitioners of the academic research written about their work
  • Ensuring that both can contact each other easily

To support this, SRI-CONNECT:

Please do contact Mike Tyrrell if you have suggestions about how SRI-CONNECT might usefully support a constructive dynamic between academics and practitioners.

(Note: We focus our scope of interest on academics and research that is directly interested in SRI & corporate governance within listed equities, fixed income, private equity, venture capital, infrastructure or, at pinch, real estate investment.  It would be counter-productive to include academics with wider interests in sustainable development or even sustainable finance more broadly).
