Roundtable Consultation: Principles for Responsible Defence Investment
📅 5 November
🕣 1:30–2:20pm BRT
📍 Room 104, Anhembi Convention Center
*This event is exclusively for official registrants of PRI in Person 2025
This roundtable will introduce the Principles for Responsible Defence Investment (PRDI) and give attendees the opportunity to provide feedback on key elements of the concept note that will inform the drafting of the principles.
As conflicts intensify and security threats grow – defence spending has surged. In 2024, private capital investments in defense-related sectors increased by 33% year-over-year. Heightened geopolitical tensions have prompted governments to reassess their security strategies and boost military expenditure. This upward trend in defence spending has raised important questions for investors concerning how and where they invest and subsequently manage the varied risks associated with investment in defence-related companies.
The PRDI will provide high-level guidance to investors who are grappling with the changing dynamics of defence-related companies and technologies. The principles will be designed to help investors carry out robust due diligence on defence-related companies across a range of asset classes.
