09/07/2010 BNP Paribas Investment Partners launches the Sustainable Development Circle in partnership with Erik Orsenna
Paris, 9 July 2010 - BNP Paribas Investment Partners is joining forces with Erik Orsenna to form the Sustainable Development Circle, an initiative that fits perfectly with BNP Paribas Investment Partners' commitment to responsible and sustainable investing.
The Sustainable Development Circle will bring together institutional investors, retail investors and asset management professionals to create a forum for sharing ideas and for reflection and debate on the major challenges facing the planet in the future and the implications of these for long-term investors.
Erik Orsenna will assist BNP Paribas' teams on sustainability and SRI (Sustainable and Responsible Investment), in particular by furthering analysis of the need to channel a larger proportion of investments towards a more responsible and sustainable economy. Erik Orsenna will also hold a series of conferences, the first of which addresses water-related issues. This will be followed by several other meetings, with the next one due to be held in autumn 2010, on "Sustainable Development and Sovereign Risk".
