Nuclear sector report: is Nuclear a sustainable solution for the future?
The European Social Investment Forum has published a sector paper covering environmental, social and governance (ESG) challenges for companies in the Nuclear energy sector.
This is the eighth such note in Eurosif's series of publications aimed at raising awareness among a wide European audience on the nature and understanding of ESG issues, as well as related business opportunities potentially affecting long-term returns and productivity within these sectors.
The sector reports aim at helping policy makers, mainstream and specialist SRI investors, pension fund trustees, and companies understand risks that are not consistently integrated into traditional financial analysis, but which have the potential to influence companies' shareholder value and fund managers' investment decisions. They describe the companies' impacts on the environment and society, discuss the opportunities and risks such issues present and outline ways in which companies can address them.
This report will be followed by three more from Eurosif covering the Information & Communications Technology sector (concentrating on hardware), Water to be released in October and Shipping to be released in December.
