Pensions and investments
The Reed Elsevier pension scheme statement of investment principles indicates that investment managers must consider how social, environmental, and ethical issues may financially impact the portfolio when making investment decisions.
CR issues are relevant to other investment decisions we make, for example, we review an investee’s social and economic stability and the ability to protect our copyrights. We invest in companies that are socially responsible, such as Healthline, which provides an easy way for consumers to find, understand and manage healthcare information, empowering them to make informed decisions that lead to better health. Created in collaboration with over 1,000 physicians and medical specialists, Healthline is powered by a consumer health taxonomy that encompasses nearly one million medical terms; in 2008 searches reached 30 million per month.
