Who can access which parts of Info & Comment?

The table below shows which reports Browsers, Registered Users (REG) and Subscribed Members (SUBS) can access.

How (when) will the Info & Comment section be updated?

SRI Fundamentals and SRI Dynamics reports will be updated as the occasion demands.

However, most new information will be entered into SRI-kipedia, Blogs and the New(s)ources stream such that these will ultimately supercede the Fundamentals and Dynamics reports as the most comprehensive information source on the site.

What is SRI-kipedia?

SRI-kipedia is the collection point for the ‘work-in-progress’ knowledge about sectors, sustainability issues and markets that underpins the practice of Sustainable & Responsible Investment.

It is a 'wiki' which can be viewed and edited by all 'subscribed members' of the site.

How can I edit SRI-kipedia?

Just go for it!  Editing a wiki is not as hard as you think; in fact, it wasn't half as hard as we thought it would be.

What is New(s)ources?

'New(s)ources' for SRI info is an information channel that:

• Sources news, reports & analysis from over 200 organisations specialising in different aspects of sustainability and investment 
• Filters and organises it in a way that highlights quality information and adds value to the investment research process
• Communicates news to readers in an organised, transparent and easily-accessible manner

How is New(s)ources filtered?

Every day the SRI-C editors review over 200 sources of sustainability and investment information and analysis to select those with most relevance to SRI investors and to tag them to make them easy to find.

What are SRI-CONNECT blogs?

SRI-CONNECT blogs provide users with the capability to publish, tag, follow and search blogs; these can be original to the site or can be republished from a user's own blog.

The site includes two featured blogs:

• SRI-Connector: Written by members of the SRI-CONNECT team, this blog discusses the changing dynamic of SRI communications and updates users on developments on the site.
• SR-IConoclast: Written by guest writers from around the industry who express views that run counter to ‘accepted wisdom’ or ‘consensus views’ within the SRI community
