Socially responsible investment, decent work and pension funds. Concepts and international experiences
This paper aims at reviewing concepts and internationale experiences of Social responsible investment practices, especially among pension funds.
This document provides an overview of what a pension fund can do if its stakeholders and managers take the decision to apply SRI criteria.
The paper’s frame of reference is the investment of the assets of funds, such as pension
schemes or funds of a similar nature, in the securities issued by corporate entities, and
mainly - but not exclusively - company shares. Securities issued by countries such as
government bonds or sovereign bonds are not taken into account, since the issues at stake
are slightly different.
