Predica continues to promote its SRI range by informing and assisting its networks and customers
Coinciding with Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) Week from 4 to 10 October 2010, Predica, a Crédit Agricole Assurances subsidiary, and Amundi have launched a joint campaign to inform customers about SRI and help them select investments.
The campaign will consist of activities aimed at raising customer awareness of sustainable and socially responsible investment options:
- A chat session, titled "Everything you wanted to know about SRI", will let web users put questions directly to Predica's and IDEAM[1]'s SRI experts. It will take place on Tuesday 5 October from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. on the websites of all participating Regional Banks, as well as on InvestStore, www.credit-agricole.fr, www.ca-sicavetfcp.fr and www.ca-assurances.com.
- A special online information module will offer a questionnaire on widely-held misconceptions about SRI, along with a quiz and a video.
Predica's value-enhancing SRI funds meet environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria and in compliance with Crédit Agricole Assurances's corporate, social and environmental responsibility policy. This funds2 are available in Predica's life insurance and capitalisation policies, including Floriane, Eloquence Capitalisation, Espace Liberté and La Médicale Investissement 1 and 2, derive from the funds that carry Novethic's "SRI 2010" product mark. At the end of August 2010, Predica had €50 million under management in its SRI-based policies, just nine months after they were launched. |
Selected following a call for projects from the French SIF (Sustainable Investment Forum), these initiatives are included in the official SRI Week programme, available on www.semaine-isr.fr
