Сhallenges And Prospects For The Development Of Responsible Investment In Russia

Abstract

This article presents an analysis of challenges and prospects for the development of responsible investment in Russia. The authors give a wide summary of foreign experience in the field of the environmental component of responsible investment, as a necessary condition for a “green” economy transformation in a global perspective. Summarizing the results achieved in the part of responsible investments, including “green” investments in different countries of the world, the authors define the main tasks for the Russian economy and the necessary conditions for successful adaptation of foreign experience in Russian realities. The analysis of successful foreign experience allowed authors to formulate a number of the most important challenges for Russian regulators today: to approve the requirement for companies to disclose non-financial information; to assess the risk system for companies participating in the responsible investment process using the methodology proposed by the authors; to compile a rating of companies participating in the investment process based on non-financial information and the results of the risk system assessment; to popularize the results of responsible investment, in particular its environmental component through official information resources: mass media, Federal State Statistic service , publication of the annual thematic bulletin; to create a system of certification and verification of green bonds and their rating.
