The PRI is an investor initiative in the financial services sector, founded in 2006 and supported by the United Nations, with partners including UNEP FI and the UN Global Compact. It maintains a global network of investors—pension funds, insurers, sovereign and development funds, investment managers, and service providers—focused on responsible ownership and long-term sustainable returns. Its core aim is to promote environmental, social, and governance considerations, share best practices, and assist signatories in fulfilling the six PRI Principles. Based in London, United Kingdom, the PRI operates as a collaborative platform within financial services, connecting signatories across markets to advance ESG integration in investment practice. The organization is described as mid-sized, employing a few hundred people. In 2025, PRI announced a joint executive program on sustainability in investment leadership developed with Wharton Executive Education.
