CSR Press Release

TORONTO, O.N., Apr. 13 /CSRwire/ - Former senior researcher at Innovest Strategic Value Advisors, Fiona Baxter has launched an Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) Research venture, Corporate Research Consultants. The company will cover a broad spectrum of clients providing ESG research services to not only institutions, governments and corporations, but also financial planners, advisors and individual investors. "Financial research data alone in equity research is no longer adequate. The demand for transparency after the recent financial crisis, and the SEC's latest guidance that requires public companies to disclose any risks from climate change on their operations together with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's new Greenhouse Gas emissions reporting requirement, will see demand for ESG research continue to grow," Baxter said.

"We offer a broad range of research products and services with the flexibility to focus on our clients specific needs, including a monthly newsletter and website blog updated daily with the latest vital news on ESG issues along with ESG research and profiles on publicly traded corporations in North America, Globally and the Emerging Markets," said Baxter.

"In addition, Corporate Research Consultants provides a Portfolio Audit Service and ESG Workshops for companies, financial planners and advisors together with individual investors to enable clients to understand the significance and benefits of ESG research in financial markets -- an area that has been consistently overlooked. The company's first ESG Workshop will be in Toronto this spring and further information will be posted on our website," Baxter said.

Baxter was a Senior Researcher at Innovest Strategic Value Advisors for 10 years and was responsible for the research of more than 2000 public companies worldwide focusing on high impact sectors. With specialized skills in Emerging Markets, Baxter conducted the research, analysis, and ratings for Rexiter, a specialist in emerging markets including China and India, and assisted in the analysis and ratings of the Global 100, presented annually at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Baxter's reputation as an in-depth ESG researcher was renowned within Innovest and the demand for her expertise was continual. "I had the pleasure of working with Fiona at Innovest for many years, and both I and our clients have been the direct beneficiaries of her considerable research skills. Her ability to master large volumes of complex material and provide succinct analysis in the face of demanding deadlines has been a real asset to our firm," said Dr. Matthew J. Kiernan Chief Executive, Inflection Point Capital Management and former Chief Executive, Innovest Strategic Value Advisors.
