Leading the Way for Sustainable Investment and Corporate Accountability
Our Vision
The Center for Monitored and Ethical Investment (CMEI) envisions a global financial system in which capital is stewarded responsibly, systemic risks are identified and addressed before they become irreparable, and investment practices contribute to long-term economic stability, human dignity, and the well-being of people and the planet.
Our Mission
CMEI’s mission is to educate, convene, and support investors, financial professionals, and allied institutions in advancing ethical, sustainable, and accountable investment practices. CMEI examines both material, idiosyncratic, and systemic risks arising from corporate activity, recognizing that risks initially assessed as issuer-specific may, when compounded across markets, sectors, or regions, evolve into systemic, non-diversifiable risks that threaten long-term portfolio performance and societal well-being.
Through research, analysis, investor education, and cross-sector collaboration, CMEI promotes responsible capital stewardship aligned with internationally recognized standards, including the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. CMEI works with partners across the finance, environmental, racial justice, and global equity ecosystems to strengthen the capacity of investors to assess risk holistically, encourage responsible corporate conduct, and support investment systems that foster shared prosperity and durable economic resilience.
Our Work
CMEI develops independent research and analysis examining how responsible investment practices influence behavior across global capital markets and contribute to the buildup or mitigation of systemic risk. Our work explores the relationships among capital allocation, corporate conduct, and long-term societal and planetary outcomes.
CMEI examines patterns of corporate governance and accountability across sectors and regions to illuminate how oversight structures, incentives, and institutional norms shape ethical behavior, risk transmission, and resilience within capital markets. This work situates corporate accountability as integral to market integrity and long-term stability.
We provide educational perspective on the legal and institutional frameworks that shape fiduciary practice and systemic risk management globally. Our work situates ethical conduct and responsible investment within evolving regulatory, governance, and market systems that influence how systemic risk is identified, understood, and addressed.
CMEI advances international engagement through educational dialogue and shared learning focused on systemic risk, fiduciary responsibility, and responsible investment. These efforts support the exchange of knowledge and perspective among investors, financial institutions, public bodies, and thought leaders across regions, regulatory environments, and traditions.”
Collaborate with racial justice organizations, faith-based coalitions, labor unions, and environmental justice groups whose values align with CMEI’s to amplify collective impact.
Launch campaigns to educate and engage stakeholders, using tools like social media, town halls, and alignment with strategic, impactful grassroots and civil society campaigns that share our objectives.
