Investing in the Future: City attitudes to environmental and social issues [913kb PDF]

In 2001, Business in the Environment commissioned a study by MORI into city attitudes towards environmental and social issues.

This report is Business in the Environment’s interpretation of MORI’s research findings, placed in the wider context of City activity. It includes case studies from top UK companies such as BT and Unilever, and commentary from leading experts including the Director General of the CBI.

Split into corresponding sections, Investing in the Future covers:

  • The relevance of environmental and social issues to investment decisions
  • The sources and use of environmental and social information
  • How to provide the financial community with the information it requires on social and environmental issues
  • The barriers to companies providing the right type of environmental and social information
  • The impact of legislation

It is essential reading for FTSE 350 companies, investors and corporate responsibility practitioners interested in the changing city attitudes to environment and social issues.

The research builds on the findings of a similar survey in 1994 and includes interviews with more than 200 analysts, investors and business journalists.
