Your digested reviews of the latest academic research on responsible investment

Welcome to the first RI Digest! The aim of this monthly online publication is to provide PRI signatories and academics with a condensed and practitioner-oriented review of the latest academic literature in the field of responsible investment. The monthly review will be distributed to all PRI signatories and published on the PRI Academic Network website where members can comment and discuss the papers. This inaugural RI Digest features two reviews of academic papers. Subsequent RI Digests will feature two longer reviews plus two short summaries of academic papers.

RI Digest is collaboration between an academic researcher who selects the articles and a journalist who writes up the reviews. Andreas Hoepner is Lecturer in Banking & Finance at the University of St. Andrews and has several years of research experience in responsible investment. Robert Kropp is a freelance journalist who writes on topics of sustainability, environment and corporate social responsibility.

Suggestions of articles to be covered in the RI Digest are welcome and can be emailed to the RI Digest team. The team is also happy to answer specific questions on the responsible investment literature. Please contact  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
