Abstract

This Teaching Plan accompanies the case HBS No. 317-028, “Joan Bavaria and Multi-Dimensional Capitalism.” It provides guidelines for class discussion, as well as a board plan. The case traces the origins of sustainable finance and investor activism through the career of Joan Bavaria, who created Trillium Asset Management in 1981, and went on to found the Social Investment Forum and the Ceres Principles. Ceres launched the Global Reporting Initiative in 1997. The case enables a critical discussion of Socially Responsible Investment and certification for corporate social and environment responsibility.
