Principles for Responsible Investment

Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI or PRI) is a United Nations-supported international network of investors working together to implement its six aspirational principles, often referenced as "the Principles". Its goal is to understand the implications of sustainability for investors and support signatories to facilitate incorporating these issues into their investment decision-making and ownership practices.

The United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative is a global partnership established between the United Nations Environment Program and the financial sector. The UNEP FI consists of 215 members from financial institutions and 41 supporting institutions. These members include banks, investors and insurance companies.

Overview

Following the publication of the pioneering paper, A Legal Framework for Impact, the Generation Foundation, in partnership with Principles for Responsible Investment and the UN Environment Programme Finance Initiative, will embark on phase two of the work.
