Austria

Even though the beginnings of SRI in Austria were slow and comparatively late, the public awareness of the issue is growing. And in spite of the fact that disclosure regulations for pension funds have been released only recently four out of nine occupational pension funds - established in 2002 – have been investing responsibly on a voluntary basis for years. Moreover these four pension funds applied for a sustainability-rating by the NGO ÖGUT and received a certificate.

Some facts about the Austrian market:

SRI Retail Market Size: 5,3 billion Euros
SRI Institutional Market Size: estimated 300 million Euros
Assets managed by SRI retail-funds of Austrian origin: 1,2 billion Euros
