yourSRI Transparent label
What stands behind the label?
yourSRI was originally launched in 2011, as a pioneer for ESG & Carbon Fund Screenings. In 2016 yourSRI has launched an independent transparency label for funds, which provides an independent source of information on the ESG and/or Climate characteristics of the investments.
The ratings, which form the basis of the label, are based on a quantitative analysis and a fully automated process. This label has a highest rating up to five diamonds and is granted for one year.
