RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Social and Environmental Data as New Tools JF The Journal of Investing FD Institutional Investor Journals SP 40 OP 47 DO 10.3905/joi.2005.580547 VO 14 IS 3 A1 Steven Lydenberg YR 2005 UL https://pm-research.com/content/14/3/40.abstract AB How much should money managers and stock analysts use data on the social and environmental records of publicly traded corporations in their investment practices and decision-making? Like financial data availability, social and environmental data availability creates a more transparent and efficient financial marketplace. Best practices and fiduciary responsibilities suggest we use these new data when clients' investment guidelines mandate specific social and environmental considerations; when shareholder resolutions relating to social and environmental issues appear on corporate proxy statements; and when clients' investment horizons are long term.
