Project: Embedding Racial Justice In Public Markets Research

Grant: £30,000

The project will conduct the research required to explore embedding racial equity in public markets, in recognition that the social investment sector is almost entirely focused on private markets.

The project’s research responds to the emerging demand from foundations to embrace racial equity in their endowment investments, but who lack the understanding of what racial equity means in an investment context and the data and insights on racial equity among the companies they invest in. The project will address these barriers by collating a list of racial equity criteria: ‘Racial Equity Scorecard’ to further support and embed racial justice in public markets in the UK.
