Overview

The United Nations Environment Program Financial Initiative (UNEPFI) is a public-private partnership established between the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and the financial sector.

It seeks to encourage coordination between the different stakeholders in ESG issues and to encourage the implementation of the principles of sustainable development at all levels of operations in financial institutions (UNEPFI, 2009).

UNEP FI is known for developing the Principles for Responsible Investment (or PRI) scheme which now has 927 signatories.

Background

The initiative rose from the combined forces of a small group of commercial banks and UNEP in 1991 after having identified the need to account for environmental impacts on their operations. In 1992, the UNEP Financial Institutions Initiative was created, followed by the UNEP Insurance Initiative in 1995. Both were subsequently merged to form the current partnership in 2003 (UNEP_FI, 2009).

Statements

The UNEPFI statements are the backbone of the initiative. They constitute basic guidelines that should be followed by institutions in order to adhere and develop the idea of sustainability in the financial sector.

These statements are followed on a voluntary basis which decreases accountability to the institution.

Signatories can apply for membership of the initiative by paying a nominal fee. The rationale for membership is that the development of sustainable practice in business can increase profits by catalyzing the [bottom line principle], which acts as an incentive for lending and investors through improved CSR (Caroll, 1999).
