Why the PRI is working towards a sustainable financial system

The PRI’s mission statement calls for signatories to play a role in supporting a sustainable financial system, by “addressing obstacles to a sustainable financial system that lie within market practices, structures and regulation”. Responding to this, the PRI established the Sustainable Financial System programme to develop a framework for contributing to a sustainable financial system.

The programme is informed by a 2016 consultation with signatories and stakeholders on how to advance our Mission and ensure that the Principles remain fit-for-purpose given the evolving nature of responsible investment practices. The consultation identified nine priority conditions to be addressed, which now guide the work of the Sustainable Financial System (SFS) team.
