Abstract: This paper examines the emerging relationship between responsible investment and sustainable strategic management. It argues that responsible investment has a mixed track record in accelerating the business sector generally and the banking and financial services sector specifically toward greater sustainable strategic management practices and that the future |success| of responsible investment in the global context is likely to depend on what degree it is able to become mainstreamed as a business concept in the emerging and developing economies.

Keywords: responsible investing; emerging markets; environmental sustainability; global contexts; investments; banking; banks; financial services; emerging economies; challenges; opportunities; developing economies; sustainable strategic management.
