The Report
The RIAA Benchmark Report is the most comprehensive review of the responsible investment sector in Australia.
The most recent RIAA report, researched in collaboration with KPMG, Responsible Investment Benchmark Report 2021 Australia, shows that the Australian responsible investment market reached new highs in 2020, increasing to $1,281 billion in 2020 from $983 billion in 2019.
The report shows that just one quarter of investment managers are practising a leading approach to responsible investment, highlighting a continuing gap between investment managers that claim to be practising responsible investing and those that can demonstrate they are.
As the sustainable investor for a changing world, BNPP AMAU are proud to be recognised in the Responsible Investment Benchmark Report 2021 Australia as leaders in this space.
