European Summit on Corporate Governance & Responsible Investment
Konferens 31 maj - 1 juni 2006 på Grand hotel i Stockholm.
Mistra arrangerar den 1 juni 2006 en session om stiftelsers roll för kapitalförvaltning för hållbar utveckling samt Mistras forskningsprogram Sustainable Investments.
THE ROLE OF FOUNDATIONS AND ACADEMIC RESEARCH This session focuses on Mistra, the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Environmental Research. Mistra's mission is to fund academic research contributing to better understanding and practical solutions for key environmental issues. This has prompted the Board of Mistra to adopt a Sustainable Investment policy for its entire asset management (approx. 400MEuro). In line with its mission, Mistra has also recently launched a large academic research program on sustainable investments. The session will address - among others - the following questions: - What have been the challenges of putting the Sustainable Investment policy into place? What has worked, what hasn't?
- What are recommendations also for other foundations/institutional investors interested in this type of investments based on the Mistra experience?
- How can academic research support the daily work of investors and asset managers? How can it help us challenge our pre-conceived views and focus on systemic issues?
