Abstract: Abstract The development of Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) and more generally the consideration by shareholders of non-financial performance highlights CSR. Investors care increasingly about ethical, social, environ­mental, and corporate governance decisions and performances. According to Eurosif, at the end of 2009, the SRI assets under management in Europe totaled € 5 trillion1 representing 10% of total assets under management in Europe: ESG criteria are today inescapable.
