The four-year review report prepared by onValues was presented at a meeting of sell-side and independent research providers and EAI members in Paris. It provides a detailed analysis of the progress made in terms of the volume and quality of extra-financial research since the EAI's inception in 2004. The report concludes that EAI has been very successful in helping extra-financial research establish itself and that in a next phase this type of research should aim at expanding its reach and becoming a part of the mainstream offer.

To support this aim, EAI is joining forces with a larger and more international initiative: the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). The PRI has announced that it will launch the first global, non-commercial database, dedicated to showcasing investment research that includes material environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. onValues is supporting PRI in designing and testing the database.
