  • Search the SRI-CONNECT database for research and reports
Profiles, network & discussion
  • Present their research capabilities to a global market of SRI investors
  • Ensure that suppliers (companies, specialist research providers and others) have a clear understanding of their objectives, capabilities and needs
  • Find and filter profiles to identify contacts at companies, analysts at clients and experts at other organisations
  • Keep up-to-date with the shifting priorities and interests of their clients
  • Arrange company-investor meetings and host other events for clients and potential clients

  • Discuss industry developments with customers, peers and suppliers
  • Build and manage their own SRI network via the groups, events and messaging functions
