Responsible Investment Total Evaluation tool (RITE)

How does your sustainable investment strategy measure up against peers?
Mercer’s Responsible Investment Total Evaluation tool (RITE) reveals that 86% of institutional investors incorporate ESG factors into their policy documents. Additionally, 72% of these investors integrate ESG considerations into their investment decision-making processes, while 22% have established targets for reducing carbon emissions.1
Against this backdrop, regulations are evolving and stakeholder pressures are increasing. Many asset owners want to understand their progress – and an effective way to do that is through comparison against their peers. Whether you call it ESG, responsible investing or sustainable investment, at Mercer, we understand that navigating this journey can be challenging. That’s why we’ve created a simple resource called RITE.
Mercer’s Responsible Investment Total Evaluation (RITE) tool helps investors integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into investment decisions. We can support your sustainability journey with actionable next steps and periodic reviews of your progress against peers.
