The SRI Conference brings together a number of professionals in North America in order to discuss and share on sustainable, responsible and impactful investing.
Some of the companies that had representatives in the 2012 version of the conference includes Folio Institutional, PepsiCo, the Chopra Center and Green America, the Walt Disney Company, Muhammad Yunus' Grameen Foundation and Nestle, among others. It's interesting to see how the intersections and crossovers between more typical social businesses and straight-up corporations have on discussing issues such as impact investing. How much do companies like PepsiCo and Walt Disney incorporate this into practice?
