Learning from European and American Experiences to Promote China's Social Responsibility Investment

社会责任投资是一种投资理念或行为,起源于20世纪20年代的美国。截至2016年,欧美发达国家的SRI规模高达20万亿美元,占全球市场的91%。其中,投资策略以投资筛选、ESG整合、股东决议或行动等策略为主,多样化趋势显著。然而,目前我国的SRI市场规模非常小,相关基金数量不足,尚处于起步阶段,具有较大的发展空间。从欧美发达国家的经验来看,我国的机构投资者、立法机构与政府应就SRI达成共识,夯实社会基础,各司其职,共同推进SRI发展。
