Supplementary notes

The source adds further comments: "Due to European diversity, the wide definition of responsible investment is any type of investment process that combines investors’ financial objectives with their concerns about Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues. The range of SRI strategies varies from a simple exclusion of companies that produce cluster munitions and anti-personnel landmines to more complex strategies involving adjusting forecasted financials for ESG risk or establishing long-term dialogue with company boards on issues of concern."
