Share:

The RI Reporting Awards 2018 were held on the evening of Tuesday June 5 at the RI Europe 2018 Gala Dinner — with wins in the four categories for ABP, Swedfund, Kempen and Sonen Capital.

 

The awards are organized by Responsible Investor in association with their research partner Responsible Finance Research. The awards were established in 2013 to create an aspirational benchmark for asset owners and asset managers. The RI Reporting Awards are based on proprietary research of more than 2,500 asset owner and asset manager reports around the world, resulting in 40 nomiations.

 

Using publicly available information, RI looked for reporting best practice in terms of simplicity, relevance, disclosure and process, applying a series of pre-determined objective indicators to create pools of RI reports which are short-listed for consideration by their expert panel of Awards Judges.
