Acknowledgements
As editor of this volume I would like to thank all the contributors who provided such excellent chapters enabling us to gain a deeper understanding of how responsible investing is growing and evolving over time. This volume is primarily drawn from a set of academic papers presented at two annual conferences if the Principles for Responsible Investing (PRI) Academic Network. The first conference was held in Ottawa, Canada in the fall or 2009 and the second was held in Copenhagen, Denmark in the spring of 2010. I would like to thank the organizers of these two conferences for their support. Most particularly the PRI secretariat and Christina Gehring, as well as the hosts of these two conferences Carleton University, Ottawa Canada and Copenhagen Business School and the Danish Government for their support. Several of the chapters have been published as earlier journal articles and appear here courtesy of these journals. I would like to acknowledge and thank the Journal of Business Ethics that produced a special issue on “The Next Generation of Responsible Investing” Vol. 92 Sup 1, in which the Woods, Urwin chapter “Putting Sustainable Investing into Practice: A governance framework for pension funds” and the Gifford chapter “Effective Shareholder Engagement: The factors that contribute to shareholder salience” first appeared. I would also like to thank the Journal of Sustainable Finance and Investment for the inclusion of Ben Richardson’s article “From Fiduciary Duties to Fiduciary Relationships for Socially Responsible Investment” that appeared in its inaugural volume 1 1. Additionally I would like to thank the Osgood Hall Law Journal, where the Waitzer, Jaswal chapter “The Good Corporate Citizen” was first published in 2009, Vol. 47. Finally I would like to acknowledge the Financial Analysts Journal, where the Bauer, Braun chapter “Misdeeds Matter: Long-Term Stock Price Performance after the Filing of Class-Action Law
