Vigeo EIRIS is a leading global provider of the research used by investors and financial institutions to assess the social, environmental, governance and ethical performance of companies. Our Conflict Risk Network service helps investors to engage with companies active in Sudan and other countries in order to support peace and stability and to ensure corporate value is not damaged by activity in the countries concerned. The service assesses exposure and categorises the risk to each company in targeted sectors most associated with ongoing violence and abuses. Where relevant it initiates a dialogue to improve policies and practices. The Network is a subscription service which enables members to access the results of our research.

This is an exciting time to be joining us. Following the acquisition of EIRIS in London by Vigeo in Paris in December, the organisation has grown in size and scope, and will be developing fast over the coming year.
