Vigeo, the leading European CSR ratings agency, is extending its coverage into the Asia Pacific area by forming a partnership with OWW Consulting, a Malaysia-based specialist in responsible business and SRI in Asia and the Middle East.
Both companies provide independent CSR and SRI research based on internationally recognized standards. They evaluate companies’ non-financial risks and opportunities bearing in mind their social, environmental and governance criteria.
The deal will enable Vigeo to give clients access to SRI research on companies in the DJ Stoxx 600 Asia-Pacific, and OWW will receive Vigeo’s SRI research on the DJ Stoxx 600 Europe.
Dr Geoffrey Williams, managing director and chief executive of OWW, said: ‘The close parallels between Vigeo and OWW provide a very strong foundation for this partnership. We hope to build a successful relationship that will allow both companies to expand our client services to create new and exciting SRI research products in the future. This partnership takes place in a rapidly growing SRI market, estimated at $4trillion (£2.03trillion).’
