What is PRI:

· Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) is a set of six principles that provide guidance to investors on how to incorporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into their investment decisions. The PRI was founded in 2006 by a group of investors, and it now has over 4,000 signatories, which represent trillions of dollars in assets.
