Mapfre included in key Socially Responsible Investment list

The asset management arm of Spanish insurer Mapfre has been included in a list of companies regarded as the most committed to Socially Responsible Investment (SRI).

Mapfre AM has been listed in the “Avant Gardist” category of the Hirschel and Kramer (H&K) Responsible Investment Brand Index (RIBI).

The index, which evaluates 220 asset managers operating in Europe, takes into account, among other criteria, compliance with the Principles for Responsible Investment, a joint initiative with the UN Global Compact that aims to enhance understanding of the impact of environmental, social and governmental issues (ESG) on investments.

Only 17 percent of those managers analysed have been admitted.
