This report presents an analysis of responsible investing in the chemical industry. It is intended for finance managers, investor- and public relations managers as well as environmental managers at chemical companies. It also may be of interest to investment professionals as well as social and environmental activists.
Our analysis is restricted to public equity investing. We have not included credit lending, because it is not very relevant to chemicals. We have not included public debt issuance or private equity, because these are very new, very small facets of responsible investing.
The primary result is a portfolio analysis of the chemical holdings of responsible investment funds in 2001. It also includes an overview of the responsible investing industry and its methods of investment selection.
