On Tuesday August 7th, I joined members of KLD’s staff and summer interns to pay a visit to the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship. There, we enjoyed presentations given about the Center and its affiliate, The Institute for Responsible Investment (IRI).

The Center and IRI are closely aligned with the mission of KLD. Both are doing some wonderful work and research in the areas of socially responsible investing and corporate responsibility. IRI is working on projects ranging from emerging markets to responsible property investment. In addition, IRI is wrapping up a study on non-financial reporting and the findings should be available in the first quarter of 2008.
