EIRIS provides independent research into corporate behavior through EPM to investors to enable them to make informed and responsible investment decisions.  Ethical Portfolio Manager (EPM) is a software product that allows institutional clients access to EIRIS's research, information on the non-financial performance for 2500 companies in Europe, North America, Australasia, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore.  Institutional Investors can screen or rate their investment universe according to their social, environmental or ethical criteria.  The software can also be used for best of sector approaches, assessment of SEE risks or used to identify and assist with engagement.  EIRIS also offers a consultancy service to help clients set up and implement an "ethical"/ "sustainable" investment policy.

The EIRIS Business Briefing Service is available to all UK companies researched by EIRIS.  The service is particularly useful for investor relations and corporate affairs personnel who want to be informed of developments in the SRI world and how investors' environmental, social or ethical concerns affect their company.

EIRIS also offers services for charities, brokers and individuals.  For example we provide a donor screening service for charities.  For people with share portfolios we can produce acceptable lists of companies according to their ethical criteria, portfolio analysis and full company reports.

Financial advisors can subscribe to EIRIS's biennial guide on ethical funds- Choosing an Ethical Fund - which helps them find the most suitable ethical fund for their clients.  There is also a free email news bulletin service for financial advisers.

EIRIS produces a wealth of information on all aspects of ethical and socially responsible investment, including banking, insurance, and pensions as well as investments.  Much of this can be found on the EIRIS website www.eiris.org
