Analyst Comments
Morgan Stanley's report is strong in most of the environmental and social intent categories. It is, however, weak in the sections requiring quantitative performance data. If they were to begin publishing data concerning annual power and water usage, as well as waste production and recycling, their score would increase significantly. Analyzed by William P. Alston, and posted to the web on 7/24/2008.

Company Description
One of the world's top investment banks, Morgan Stanley serves up a whole smorgasbord of financial services. The company divides its operations into three primary business segments: institutional securities (capital raising, corporate lending, financial advisory services for corporate and institutional investors); global wealth management group (brokerage and investment advisory services, financial planning for individual investors and businesses); and asset management (asset management services and products including alternative investments, equity, fixed income; merchant banking; investment activities). Morgan Stanley has some $782 billion in assets under management. Source: Hoovers
