Eurosif, the European Social Investment Forum, has just published the « European SRI Study – 2006 ». This unique study highlights the scale and progress of European Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) across nine countries (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom).
Based on a survey of funds under management, the report reveals that the Broad European SRI market is now estimated to be up to € 1 trillion and representing as much as 10-15% of the total European funds under management. This represents a 36% growth since December 31, 20021. SRI is growing in many countries and is particularly booming in Spain and Austria.
Eurosif's Executive Director Matt Christensen states: “Readers of the Study will find a European SRI market that has considerably changed since 2003, when we last published our report. Across Europe, there are signs of robust SRI strategies, increased mandates from institutional players and the growing involvement of more traditional financial services providers. The one constant in the field is that European SRI continues to be an area of diversity and innovation.”
