After a little more than one year since he was appointed new CEO of the Principles for Responsible Investment, PRI, founded by the United Nations, David is sharing insights into new directions on Frankly Speaking.
The PRI’s six Principles of Responsible Investment have more than 5000 signatories worldwide and since David’s arrival, the PRI has finished a worldwide consultation which will lead to some important decisions by its board later this month.
