Financial news and data agencies are likely to make use of the following services from SRI-CONNECT:
Market Buzz & Research
Financial news and data agencies typically have their own sourcing processes and information is presented on proprietary information platforms; they are therefore unlikely to use SRI-C’s platform to source or distribute data or research.
However, they may use Market Buzz to
- Monitor news from SRI practitioners
- Notify the industry of product launches and developments
Directory, networks & discussion
- Find and filter profiles to identify relevant research providers, contacts at companies, analysts at research providers and experts at other organisations
- Ensure that suppliers (companies, specialist research providers and others) have a clear understanding of their objectives, capabilities and needs
- Present their research capabilities to a global market of SRI investors
- Participate in events ranging from company briefings to industry conferences
- Discuss industry developments with customers, peers and suppliers
- Build and manage their own SRI network via the groups, events and messaging functions
SRI Dynamics discussion papers
- Integrated analysis: approaching a tipping point – which reviews how sustainability issues are being used to identify additional sources of investment risk and opportunity within SRI and ‘mainstream’ investment
- Agencies of Change - which reviews the fundamental changes underway in the provision of SRI research and discusses the challenges facing the business and research model of specialist SRI agencies.
