The socially responsible investment SRI as new tendency in the financial market and how to adopt it : the experience of “the government pension fund-global of Norway”

Abstract EN

The CSR reflects the social responsible behaviour of corporates, whereas, the SRI represents the social responsible behaviour of investors in the financial market.

The Norwegian Government Pension Fund-Global is built on the idea of “safeguard the right of the next Norwegian generations in Norway's petroleum wealth”.

Therefore, this study discusses the fund experience in SRI and the strategy followed to apply it.

Consequently, the socially responsible investment requires: awareness about ESG issues, shortlisting companies with good CSR, diversify risks, commit and adhere into the CSR and Ethical guidelines, exclude the companies failed to comply with CSR & ESG issues.
