Frankly Speaking - A Podcast on Responsible Business

#17 David Atkin: New directions for the Principles for Responsible Investment


Listen Later

After a little more than one year since he was appointed new CEO of the Principles for Responsible Investment, PRI, founded by the United Nations, David is sharing insights into new directions on Frankly Speaking. The PRI’s six Principles of Responsible Investment have more than 5000 signatories worldwide and since David’s arrival, the PRI has finished a worldwide consultation which will lead to some important decisions by its board later this month. David is a pensions industry leader who has previously been CEO of three asset owners in his native Australia, and he was once ranked as the third most significant and impactful asset owner in the world.

Listen to this conversation about:

  • System change and the responses from policy-makers
  • Regional cooperation and voluntary pathways of transition
  • Complementing other initiatives in the responsible investment ecosystem
  • ESG backlash
  • Greenwashing
  • The disjunction between the growth of ESG investment and the need for finance for the sustainable development goals
  • Listen in and follow us on Twitter and LinkedIn!
