SRI/CSR issues: ExxonMobil, Tesco, east Europe
Today saw the publication of Clear Profit's latest issue, bringing the latest news and views on responsible investment (SRI).
It provides insight into: the first responsible investment fund for east Europe, the Limestone New Europe fund; the defeat of a resolution to end all others at ExxonMobil, in the face of ones supported by the descendents of its founder, John D. Rockefeller; and a potential hitch in celebrity chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's campaign to pursuade investors to improve conditions of chickens reared for sale in Tesco, the UK's biggest supermarket chain.
The issue also provides an insight into mission-connected investment (MCI), which Sargon Nissan of the New Economics Foundation argues should be integrated into foundations' investment activities alongside grant-giving, programme related investment and SRI. Meanwhile, Bart Slob of the Dutch Centre for Research on Multinational Corporations (SOMO) argues that investors should help convince companies to lobby more responsibly.
This comes together with the publication's trademark briefings on the latest news and research in SRI and corporate social responsibility (CSR). Featured organisations include: Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, Doughty Hanson, the European Fund for Southeast Europe, Grainvest, Emergent, Charity Bank, JPMorgan, ISS and the Global Reporting Initiative.
