Agenda<br />

Financing Sustainable Development<br />

“Investing for the long-term requires strategies that create<br />

sustainable value, mitigate multi-faceted risks, and strengthen<br />

both local and global economies. The common denominator<br />

in being able to do all of that effectively is having a stable and<br />

forward-thinking policy foundation.”<br />

“The systemic problems that the PRI was established to address<br />

persist: Financial markets function in ways that do not always<br />

service investors or society over the longer term; interests and<br />

incentives are misaligned; capital is allocated to businesses<br />

that may prove unsustainable. There has been a general loss<br />

of trust in financial institutions.”<br />

Chair, Principles for Responsible Investment<br />
