HCCG: Guest lecture by Ulrika Hasselgren “Doing Well While Doing Good – Socially Responsible Investing”

Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) is an investment discipline which seeks to consider both financial return and a positive societal impact on a long-term basis, including meeting environmental and corporate governance criteria. According to US SIF Foundation’s 2016 Report on Sustainable and Responsible Investing Trends in the United States, as of end of 2015, more than one out of every five dollars under professional management in the United States – $8.72 trillion or more –was invested according to SRI strategies.
