"This survey combines and builds upon two earlier streams of analysis on attitudes to socially responsible investment (SRI) among fund managers and financial analysts in Europe and the UK.

The survey presents the first comprehensive European picture on how social and environmental performance informs decisions and attitudes both amongst mainstream fund managers/analysts and investor relations officers (IROs) in major companies.

Highlights include indications that CSR will become a significant aspect of mainstream investment decisions and those companies' communication practices on CSR, despite improvement over the past two years, need further improvement to satisfy the financial community."
