PRI Releases a New Evaluation Tool and DDQ to Assist Investors in Assessing Manager Stewardship for Sustainability

On September 21, 2023, the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) released an Evaluation Tool along with a Due Diligence Questionnaire (DDQ). These resources are designed to assist investors (and their investment consultants where relevant) in understanding, evaluating and comparing how managers use stewardship to address sustainability issues (e.g., human rights, climate change and biodiversity).  Both the tool and DDQ can be used in tandem or independently and are meant to complement any other tools and standards that may be used.
