The importance of the social dimension for investors has only started to become apparent quite recently. However, public awareness is catching up quickly. Investors are increasingly starting to realize that non-financial considerations such as social metrics have a measurable financial impact on investments.

  • Diversity: what impact this key social metric can have on investment returns
  • Risk management: what effect the adherence to social guidelines has on corporate risk
