WHAT OUR MEMBERS ARE SAYING
"RIAA has played and continues to play a central role in mainstreaming responsible investment at the same time as raising responsible investment standards to safeguard RI's integrity and impact. RIAA is innovative and adaptable in pursuit of its purpose, working across the investment ecosystem as well as beyond it, with a recent highlight being the energy and insight contributed to the massive Australian Sustainable Finance Initiative."
"By being RIAA certified, I've been able to promote myself on the RIAA website and also on my own marketing materials, using the Certification Symbol. Most importantly, I'm able to participate in RIAA education sessions like workshops and conferences and discuss ideas with other RIAA-certified advisers about product and ethical issues. I really value that RIAA keeps me up to date with the latest developments in responsible investment and that they advocate on our behalf as well."
