Each week Emerging Markets ESG publishes an interview entitled, “Five Questions about Socially Responsible Investment (SRI).” The series is now in its second year.
Each interview “Five Questions about SRI” features a practitioner’s insights about SRI in emerging markets and through Emerging Markets ESG shares this expertise with a wide global audience.
The goals of “Five Questions about SRI” are fourfold:
- To collect a catalogue of examples of SRI in practice in emerging markets;
- To raise awareness about SRI in emerging markets;
- To reflect on what SRI in emerging markets means to practitioners; and
- To enable SRI practitioners in emerging markets to network with peers around the world.
This week’s interview is with Madeleine Ronquest, Head of Environmental and Social Risk Management, Climate Change, Occupational Health and Safety, FirstRand Group Ltd., Sandton, South Africa.
